Ole Miss fired its head coach, Ed Orgeron, today, one day after he blew a 14-0 lead against Mississippi State to go on to lose 17-14. Check out this article on ESPN for more details.
According to the article, the dumbass went for it on 4th and 1 with a 14-0 lead in the fourth quarter, and that was the turning point of the game. The coach fully expected to return for ’08 but instead got his walking papers. With ten wins in three seasons, I can totally understand why he was let go.
I guess he’ll get hired as a head coach by a school that sucks even more than Ole Miss. Maybe he should give the folks in Jonesboro a call.
