LSU, Ed Orgeron, celebrating LSU’s National Championship will hit you in the feels

While Joe Burrow put forth a masterpiece to lead the LSU Tigers to a National Championship, Ed Orgeron celebrating was the most beautiful sight.

Passed over for the USC Trojans job after the 2013 season, called the wrong hire by LSU Tigers fans on many occasions, Ed Orgeron has heard many things said about him. But after Monday night, the only thing that people will call the LSU head coach for quite some time is a National Championship.

On the back of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, the Tigers overcame an early deficit in the National Championship Game to end the game on a 35-8 run and capture the title, the first of Orgeron’s career.

Because of the scrutiny he’s faced and the unwavering confidence and optimism he’s displayed throughout all of it, Orgeron has always been a fan-favorite, both for those with stock in the happenings in Baton Rouge and for lovers of college football at large. So once it became clear that LSU was about to hoist the trophy, everyone was waiting to see Coach O celebrate.

He did not disappoint.

Orgeron was all smiles and unbridled joy as he celebrated with his team, family and friends on the field at the Superdome:

“I remember growing up, and losing was not an option … You had to win., Orgeron said in the postgame.”

And, of course, an LSU victory in the National Championship Game wouldn’t feel right if, for one final, triumphant time, Ed Orgeron didn’t deliver his patented “Geaux Tigahs”:

The joyous occasion even had former LSU head coach Les Miles congratulating the players, coaches, fans and Tiger Nation.

For as beautiful as Burrow’s performance was this season and in the Natty, it pales in comparison to the beauty of Coach O celebrating. The genuine elation and overwhelming joy is evident from one look at his face. And even better, he did nothing but give his players the glory.

As always, Ed Orgeron is a legend, and his celebration in New Orleans only added to the folklore.

Mission accomplished.

Try not to cry after all that.

Go Tigers.
