(AP) --- Ed Orgeron returned to LSU's football program Wednesday, seven years after he coached the Tigers to the 2019 national title. LSU head coach Lane Kiffin added the 64-year-old Orgeron to the staff as a special assistant to recruiting and defense. Orgeron worked under Kiffin at Southern California and Tennessee. "I'm excited to bring Coach Orgeron back to LSU," Kiffin said in a statement. "He brings us tremendous value with his ability to recruit elite players nationally, but especially the impact he can have for us recruiting the great state of Louisiana. "Coach O understands my expectations and commitment to being a championship program. I look forward to seeing him with recruits and his intensity working with our defensive players." Orgeron spent six seasons as LSU's head coach. He was fired after the 2021 season. ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-football
