How much was Coach O paid to leave?

Ed Orgeron and LSU agreed to part ways in 2021, granting the National Championship winning coach a $17.1 million buyout. As it turns out, Orgeron was just fine with that.

Why is coach Orgeron’s voice like that?

Coach O’s voice sounds the way it does likely because of his Cajun background. He used to have drinking issues that include a story of him being arrested for head-butting a bar manager in 1992 and eventually resigning as Miami’s defensive line coach, but it’s unclear if that had any effect on his voice.
