Former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has been in contact with Arkansas about its open head coach position, On3 reported Friday, while he also has been linked to the vacant Oregon State job.

Orgeron, 64, reached a mutual agreement to leave the Tigers program following the 2021 season when the team went 6-6. It was two years removed from a perfect 15-0 season when LSU won the national championship.

Orgeron went 51-20 in six seasons at LSU and is 67-47 in 10 seasons after also serving as the head coach at Ole Miss (2005-07) and the interim head coach at Southern California (2013).

Arkansas is looking to replace Sam Pittman, who was fired in September after the Razorbacks fell 56-13 at home to Notre Dame. Oregon State fired head coach Trent Bray after the Beavers opened the season with an 0-7 record.
