Ed Orgeron Gives His Take On The New Age Of College Football

“I’ve been fortunate to be at places where the head coach has total control. I think that’s where it starts,” the coach said. “Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carrol, those guys had total control. When the head coach has total control of his program, I think that’s the key. I don’t know what’s going on at Auburn, but I know this: the NIL, more money is coming into play. More people are gonna have to give money and some will want control. I guess some of ’em are gonna want to coach. But the places I’ve been, it’s never trickled down to me. I’ve always had great relationships with those guys.

“But I learned this from Monte Kiffin: Coaches coach, players play, administration administrates and boosters boost. If we can keep it like that, I think that’s the way to have a great program.”

“That’s your program and you make all the decisions,” he said. “Everyone, whatever it means. The decisions you have to make, all those are on your part.”
