LSU Football has fallen on rough times since winning the National Championship less than two years ago, and the frustration is starting to boil over in Baton Rouge.
That was evident after LSU’s latest 31-17 loss at the hands of the Ole Miss Rebels. The sound defeat came amidst confirmation that head coach Ed Orgeron is leaving his post at the end of this season.
It’s all been a bit too much for Charles Hanagriff and Richard Condon, who host the LSU post-game show on 104.5 ESPN in Baton Rouge. The two had a screaming war over the idea of hiring University of Louisiana head coach Billy Napier to replace Orgeron.
“YOU WANT NAPIER,” Condon said to his co-host. “NAPE, BILL, I LOVE YA. Hani, he can’t come from Lafayette…”
“SPEAK IN ENGLISH I’M NOT PUSHING NAPIER!” Hanagriff screamed back. “Your problem is you don’t listen!”
Condon, never one to back down, cooked up a few colorful insults to toss back at Hanagriff.
“I’m gonna take the end of my finger, and I’m GONNA STICK IT IN YOUR EAR!” Condon fired back at Hanagriff. “I’m gonna put your drawers in the crack of your ass!”
Earlier in the clip — graciously posted by 104.5 video producer Daniel Cardanez — Hanagriff suggested the team should just hand over coaching duties to students for the rest of the 2021 season.
“You said they’re not in as good of shape,” Condon said. “Why is that?”
“Because they… THE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH IS DOING A LOUSY JOB,” Hanagriff shouted. “FIRE THE WHOLE DAMN BUNCH OF THEM. YOU GOT FOUR GAMES LEFT TO GO, JESUS.”
Ironically, the rumor mill has pointed Lane Kiffin’s direction when it comes to Orgeron’s replacement at LSU. The Ole Miss coach is among a few of the names floated as a possible replacement for Orgeron. Whoever gets hired has to face the wrath of 104.5 ESPN after disappointing performances.
