Ex-LSU football coach Ed Orgeron goes viral on TikTok as he is filmed chatting to bikini-clad women
Not many can say that they saw it coming...but Ed Orgeron has surprisingly become the latest figure in sports to turn into a social media sensation overnight after the ex-LSU football coach was spotted chatting to bikini-clad women on a beach earlier this week.
In footage shared on TikTok on Thursday, Orgeron, 61, can be seen approaching two beachgoers while appearing to hold hands with a woman who is believed to be his fiancée.
'Getting rizzed up by coach O,' read the video's caption.
In May, Orgeron announced on Twitter that he got engaged to his girlfriend, Brandy Nicole. The college football coach filed for a divorce from his previous wife, Kelly, in April 2020. The two had been been married for 23 years.
But, that appears to not matter much to fans on TikTok, who praised Orgeron's 'rizz' or 'game' with the ladies in the video's comment section.

'Always recruiting,' another TikTok viewer remarked.
'Coach O laying the ground work,' a different fan commented.
Orgeron made a name for himself as the head coach of the LSU Tigers from 2016 to 2021, especially after the team went on a 15-0 run during the 2019 season.
It ultimately led to the Tigers winning a national championship in January 2020 under then-quarterback Joe Burrow - defeating the Clemson Tigers, led by then-quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the time.
Two seasons later and Orgeron was out of the door at LSU.
Brian Kelly was named as his successor in November 2021 after guiding Notre Dame back into the College Football Playoff in 2018 and 2020.

Last season, the Tigers had a 10-4 record.
As of late, however, Orgeron's name has been linked to the head coach vacancy at Northwestern following the dismissal of Pat Fitzgerald.
Several sources reported that Orgeron 'would have interest' in the job but the claims were then denied by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman.
'Spoke to Ed Orgeron. There is no truth to the report that he has any interest in the Northwestern coaching job nor has he heard from anyone at Northwestern,' said Feldman in a tweet from last week.
Fitzgerald was fired earlier this month following accusations of promoting 'a culture of enabling racism' and details regarding hazing allegations.
