    Bobby is best friends with Coach O...

    You need go read other boards, unless by some miracle, hes Tenn bound. He has more security at Tenn. He originally was going to LSU as of this morning but the Kiffens flew in and assured him more security...

    ESPN reporting Ed Orgeron is headed to Tennessee.

    The former Ole Miss head coach, who spent the 2008 season as the New Orleans Saints defensive line coach, confirmed via text message this afternoon that he has accepted an offer to be the Volunteers recruiting coordinator, defensive line coach and will have the title of associate head coach.

    "I'm so excited," Orgeron said via phone. "I get to coach with Monte [Kiffin]     and I'm getting to recruit again. It's pedal to the metal and I can't wait to get up there." Orgeron came to his decision after spending the past few days in Destin, Fla., with his family and weighing his options which included an offer in a similiar role at LSU or staying in New Orleans.

    The 47-year-old Louisiana native had been intrigued by the chance to coach at LSU, a school he grew up rooting for. However he was ultimately swayed by the chance to work with new UT coach Lane Kiffin and his father, legendary defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin who also has relocated to Knoxville. Orgeron is expected to make $650,000 making him one of the nation's highest paid assistants.
    ...
    Orgeron also had worked with Lane Kiffin when the pair were part of two national championship teams at USC.

    Times-Picayune:

    LSU football will not have Ed Orgeron as coach

    ATLANTA - Saints defensive line coach Ed Orgeron will not be a part of the LSU coaching staff next season, school officials confirmed, and is instead expected to sign a deal with Tennessee.
    ...
    it appears Orgeron will join forces with new Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin. Those two were assistants together at Southern California before Orgeron became head coach at Ole Miss.

    The deciding factor appears to have been money. Although LSU made it clear this week it intended to be competitive and some officials hinted a contract in the neighborhood of $500,000 could be seen rumors were rife in the Georgia Dome that Tennessee had offered Orgeron something close to $900,000. That number could not be confirmed Wednesday evening and there was no official announcement by Tennessee.

    The Volunteers instead touted the hiring of Monte Kiffin as defensive coordinator.
