The Crazy Voodoo Case of Ed Orgeron

Coach Ed Orgeron is a curious case. Truthfully the guy never had much fortune coaching football until he arrived at LSU. Suddenly, the coach who was an embarrassment for Mississippi is the greatest coach at LSU since, well forever. Is it luck, is he actually a great coach no one identified, or is there something else in play? Personally, I feel there is some voodoo afoot and here are my reasons.

To begin with Ed was born on July 27th. What is the big deal about that? Well, that is the birthday of one Jeanne Baret, a French woman who is credited with being the first woman to circumnavigate the world. Quite a feet for a woman considering that at the time women were pretty much not allowed on long distance voyages. So how did Jeanne pull of this accomplishment? The only way she could, by disguising her self as a man. It has been recently suggested that Ed Orgeron is actually a brilliant football coach who has disguised himself as a crazy Cajun in order to get this opponents to underestimate his coaching skills. It also curious that Jeanne Baret was from France, and the name Orgeron is traced back to Normandy in France. There is a possibility that Ed Orgeron could have Jeanne Baret in his distant family tree. Coincidence? I think not.

Interestingly, Ed was born in Larose, LA. Larose sits a mere 1 hour from the heart of Voodoo in America, New Orleans. Obviously, as the largest nearby town, Ed spent a lot of time growing up surrounded by and probably dabbling in the Voodoo. The town Larose actually means a town bearing a rose. Get this, there is actually a rose, called the Voodoo Rose. Furthermore, Larose, a French word obviously, can also refer to a person with rosy complexion. Hello Ed Orgeron. The guy has voodoo written all over him.

The finally thing that makes me think Ed has some crazy voodoo going is his name itself. To begin with his given name is Edward Jim Orgeron, Jr. His first name Edward has 6 letters. 6 is actually the first perfect number (if you don’t know what a perfect number is you need to see Euclid.) The last part of his name, JR., (if numbers are assigned based on place in the alphabet), is 10- J plus 18- R. That equals 28. (By the way, there is no last name I know with 28 letters, so you take the numbers of the last word and add them.) Why is 28 such a big deal? Because 28 is the second perfect number. The result is that Edward Jim Orgeron, Jr, is named bracketed by the first and second perfect numbers. This is extremely rare, and extremely perfect. In all may days I have not known anyone with a name bracketed by 6 and 28. Add to the fact that he goes by Ed, whose corresponding numbers are 5 & 4, from which we get 9. 9 is the first odd number (not counting 1, and 1 doesn’t count in this instance) that is a perfect square. So, Ed is 3 times perfect. And, Ed, the real football coach, did not emerge until he got the LSU gig in the year 2016. Add the numbers up on that year and what do you get...uh 9. So, was one of the most bizarre hires ever just a voodoo string, or just a coincidence? I think not.

Furthermore, a little known fact is that Ed actually is called Be-Be by his closest friends. Be-Be is 2+5 and 2+5, 14. This is really not good because Bama plays LSU on 11/3, or with the numbers added together, 14. Coincidence? You be the judge.

The conclusion of all this is that Ed Orgeron is a strange case. He appears to many to be a buffoon, a cartoon character from his days at Mississippi, and even a guy whose accent is so indiscernible no one can tell what he is saying. But, don’t be fooled. This guy has some crazy voodoo working for him and it is clearly seen in some of LSU’s victories this year. And, we play him on Nov. 3. Yikes.

Fortunately for us we have a guy playing for us named Tua Tagovailoa, who wears #13, and brings with him some special Samoan magic...but that is another story.
