<a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/ed-orgeron-131475/">Ed Orgeron</a> brought up some comparisons regarding <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ole-miss-rebels/">Ole Miss </a>and <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/">Florida</a> as he bides his time for a potential new gig. Whether Orgeron becomes a head coach again or not, he’s pretty confident in his abilities, particularly in the SEC.



<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/lsu-tigers/news/ed-orgeron-pitches-himself-to-be-next-lsu-head-coach/">He already pitched himself to return to LSU Wednesday morning</a>. While it’s uncertain the Tigers would get in a time machine and bring him back, Florida could poach <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/lane-kiffin-135051/">Lane Kiffin</a> to be their new head coach.



That brings up the debate if Kiffin would be better off staying in Oxford or moving to Florida. One thing’s for sure, Orgeron knows and loves the talent in the Sunshine State.



“I loved my time at Ole Miss, but when was the last time they won a championship,” <a href="https://x.com/MattHayesCFB/status/1983587585633968150">Orgeron said, via 1010XL.</a> “You’re in Jacksonville? Put me a Suburban, and we can drive an hour anywhere and find a couple All-Americans.”



Orgeron was at Ole Miss from 2005-07 as the head coach, but went 10-25. While he loved his time there, it wasn’t a great coaching stint from a win-loss perspective. Orgeron of course rectified that going 6-2 in a brief stay at USC as head coach in 2013 and then eventually went 51-20 at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a> from 2016-21.



It culminated in a national title in 2019, going 15-0 and coaching Heisman QB <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/joe-burrow-62055/">Joe Burrow.</a> As far as what Orgeron could do next, could we interest you in the Florida Gators job? Coach O loves his truck or whatever other mode of transportation, to get around the state. Hitting the recruiting trail? Well, he can’t wait!



Previously, Orgeron said he was open to being an assistant coach to return to college football. The fact remains, he just wants to be on a sideline doing what he loves: coaching players, recruiting and winning.



“I want a fit. I’m not going to take just anything, and not everybody’s going to take me,” <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/ed-orgeron-wants-to-be-your-head-coach-or-even-your-defensive-line-coach/">Orgeron told On3’s Andy Staples.</a> “It may be a head coach job. It may be a defensive line job with someone that I believe can win a championship …



“If I interview, I want them to want me as much as I want them. I’m a championship coach, and I’m going to bring a winning program to their university.”
