Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
OXFORD, Miss., Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Ed Orgeron, Southern Cal's defefensive line coach for seven years, was introduced Thursday as the new head football coach at the University of Mississippi.
"This is the beginning of the Orgeron era at Ole Miss, and it's going to be a successful one," Chancellor Robert Khayat said at a news conference.
Orgeron, 43, replaces David Cutcliffe, who was fired after the Mississippi team finished this season with a 4-7 record. It was Cutliffe's first losing season in six years.
"We are going to teach our young men to compete," Orgeron said. "We're going to compete from the time we get up in the morning until the time we go to bed."
Orgeron was on the coaching staffs at Miami, Nicholls State and Syracuse before joining the USC staff. He is a native of Louisiana.
