Ed Orgeron-Lane Kiffin pairing already paying dividends for LSU Tigers during pivotal recruiting weekend

Joe Burrow's coach at LSU, Ed Orgeron, admits to Fox News Digital he was taken back by the Cincinnati Bengals' latest comments about having fun on the gridiron.

I tried to warn you guys, I really did.

About a week and a half ago, when LSU added former head coach Ed Orgeron to new coach Lane Kiffin's staff, I mentioned that the Bayou Bengals addressed the one weakness that plagued their former regime and that the addition of Coach O would pay dividends down the road on the recruiting trail.

I fully believed that to be true, but even I couldn't have anticipated how quickly Orgeron would hit the ground running in Baton Rouge.

Almost immediately after joining the LSU payroll, Orgeron was able to secure both an in-person visit and official visit from the nation's No. 1 recruit, five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster.

The battle for Brewster was shaping up to be a two-horse race between in-state Texas Tech, the program he is currently committed to, and the Florida Gators.

It took less than two weeks, and Orgeron has not only already gotten the Tigers' foot in the door for Brewster, but may have actually helped to push them to the forefront of his recruitment as the leaders in the clubhouse.

Some videos are emerging from his official visit this weekend in Louisiana, and if you're a Red Raiders fan, you may want to avert your eyes, because it looks like Brewster and Ed O are having a blast getting to know each other better.
