Packed with raw emotion, locker room intensity, and Cajun fire, this film promises to be a deep dive into the life and legacy of Ed Orgeron—better known to Tiger Nation as “Coach O.”
The documentary traces Orgeron’s journey from the swamps of Lafourche Parish to the pinnacle of college football, capturing the grit, setbacks, and triumphs that defined his career.
