CALLED UP Enter Ed Orgeron: LSU’s cajun, energetic interim head coach who’s anticipating program-wide changes BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_ Les Miles was fired on Sunday, and athletic director Joe Alleva introduced LSU’s new interim head coach less than 24 hours later. “It’s never easy when you make a change, especially when a change involves a man like Les Miles,” Alleva said in an opening statement prior to introducing Miles’ replacement. Enter Ed Orgeron, LSU’s articulate, raspyvoiced, energy-laden interim head coach with a 16-27 previous coaching record who says LSU’s football program is headed in a different direction. Monday, Orgeron’s first day as the leader of his home state’s flagship University’s team, was a dream come true, he said. “Growing up in south Louisiana, being the head coach at LSU was a dream,” the Larose native said. “This is the greatest job in America.” Orgeron revealed he was informed of the program’s decision to appoint him head coach on Sunday after a phone call from Alleva and LSU president F. King Alexander. He was introduced to LSU’s team in his new role that evening. “It’s a great day in my life, I’ll tell you that,” Orgeron said. LSU’s interim head coach will make his debut in LSU’s homecoming game at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday against Missouri (2-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) at Tiger Stadium. Orgeron, who opened LSU’s practice on Monday, said he’s focused on bringing together LSU’s coaching staff early this week and putting together a practice plan for Tuesday and beyond. He’ll worry about Missouri afterward. “Our offense, defense are working on Missouri,” he said. LSU’s change at head coach, although temporary, is a morsel in the team-wide changes Orgeron anticipates under his direction. Sophomore defensive end Arden Key, a protégé under Orgeron on the defensive line for two seasons now, says he believes LSU’s newly-appointed head coach will shape the future of the program long term. “I see us doing great toward the end of the season,” Key said. “I feel like he will solidify the head coaching spot, and they’re going to give it to him for next year and for years to come.” Key believes changes to be implemented
by Orgeron will remove the “interim” tag from his title. What are the changes Orgeron promised? “The way we do things,” Orgeron said. “Some freshness, some energy. When things don’t work, you have to change them. We’re going to flip the script. Less time on the practice field, more time in the meeting room.” First, he has to puzzle together a coaching staff and adhesively bond and position the staffers Miles left behind, which Orgeron said will consume his first full day at the helm. LSU and Orgeron confirmed all coaching changes on Monday, including former tight ends coach Steve Ensminger’s move to interim offensive coordinator. Ensminger will be stationed in the press box Saturday. Orgeron announced Dave Aranda will remain LSU’s defensive coordinator and is now LSU’s newest associate head coach — Orgeron’s right-hand man. “I’m going to lean on him,” Orgeron said. Shortly after Orgeron’s call with Alleva and Alexander and a quick conversation with his wife to announce the news, the 55-year-old coach dialed Pete Jenkins, a life-long mentor to Orgeron and defensive line guru. “I think the world of the man. I think our players are going to love him,” Orgeron said of Jenkins, a former LSU defensive coach from 1980-90 and 2000-01. Jenkins will join the Tigers’ defensive coaching staff as the defensive line coach, and Eric Mateos is LSU’s newest tight ends coach. “When I introduced Pete Jenkins, our team went crazy,” Orgeron said. In part because of the change at the top, Orgeron warned LSU fans to expect a new coaching staff, a new style of play and a new offense. “You can expect a new style of play on offense,” he said. “We’re going to spread the ball out a bit. There’s a lot of things on offense we’ve done well. I have a different passing game. We want to be more creative. We know people load up the box on Leonard. We want to put the ball in our playmakers’ hands.” To rid LSU of its recent clock-management woes, Orgeron said he’ll assign someone to clock-management and game-management duties in the press box. Like the time manager, LSU hopes Orgeron is its remedy. “Ed Orgeron is the right man to take over the program,” Alleva concluded.

Workday Ready
Walking into an interview can be intimidating, but your outfit can exude confidence. You are sure to look prepared with these helpful tips from local stores like BCBG and KiKi’s.
Bottoms
BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @SemajAtkinson
When picking out your bottoms, it’s important to think of them as the base for your entire work-day outfit. Bottoms, for example, should always be appropriately fitted and dark-toned. You can never go wrong with a nice wide-leg pant, pencil skirt or casual slack. “A pencil skirt and a nice top will work, because you don’t want to distract from your résumé and what you can do,” said Blair Root, a Kiki’s sales associate.
Tops
As a rule, always cover up. Think “modestly fashionable” when picking out a professional top to avoid drawing attention away from how you can contribute to the job. Lean toward a button up blouse that’s not low-cut. Neutral tones like white, black or grey are always appropriate. “No patterns, and steer away from bright colors,” Root said.
Jewelry
“Keep it nice and clean,” Root said. “Pearls are always nice and professional, as well as a nice stud.” Jewelry may seem minor in comparison to clothing choices, but minute details can enhance your overall look. A hint of diamonds can add to a suit while keeping it clean-cut. Though stack bracelets are in, Root suggests you leave those for game days.
Add-Ons
If a job allows, it’s always fun to add a bit of flare to your outfit. Whether an elegant brooch, neck scarf or even a blazer, small accents can give your work-ready outfit that extra boost.
FOOD AND DRINK
Local vegan baker looks to establish blogging presence BY CYNTHEA CORFAH @LacedInCyn Pumpkin pound cake loaf, chocolate chip cookie dough frozen yogurt and green goddess grilled cheese are just a few of the treats vegan baker Sierra Maust creates from her kitchen in Baton Rouge. A 21-year-old baker and blogger, Maust began baking when she was around 13 years old. Throughout high school, Maust read cooking and food books, educating herself on clean eating and preservatives and fats in fast food. Maust wanted to find a way to eat foods that tasted good and were also good for her body. About a year ago, Maust committed to the vegan lifestyle. Since she was born, her mother was a pescatarian. At
the age of 10, Maust became a pescatarian, as well. Her father ate meat, while her sister was a vegetarian. Maust began blogging on Instagram in 2015. She started by posting photos of her vegan-friendly food to share with her followers. “Most people think of vegan as, ‘Oh, I just gotta eat a lot of tofu,’” Maust said. “People don’t think that you can eat anything. I want to show everybody that vegan [food] can be just as good as something regular, so I started doing vegan baking.” After tagging her photos with #vegan, on Instagram, Maust received an increase in traffic to her profile. Her followers wanted to know more about her food, such as the preparation and ingredients. In February, Maust
started her blog site, “Happie Healthy Hippie.” Maust uses her blog as a platform for many of her talents, including baking, photography and graphic design. Maust attended the University for three years before deciding to follow her dream of baking full-time. “I liked school because I love to learn, but there was no drive for me to keep going when I was trying to focus on something else,” Maust said. “Eventually I was like, ‘OK, I think this should be my career instead.’” While at the University, Maust studied interior design before changing her major to graphic design. In addition to attending classes, Maust worked at City Club of Baton Rouge, where she developed skills in the kitchen and
with catering. “When you’re growing up, people tell you, ‘Oh, four-year degree, that’s what you do.’ And it was like, ‘Is this what I want to do or is this something that’s on my mind that I can’t get off?’” Maust said. Along with cooking, photography and writing for her blog and Instagram, she sells her products through her self-owned bakery Doux Natural Bakery. Through Etsy, Maust offers treats paired with photos and detailed descriptions. She plans on expanding her brand by gaining more followers on her blog and Instagram and eventually owning her own storefront in the South. “Baking is what I want my life to be,” Maust said. “I want to wake up and do this every day.”

‘WHEN THINGS YOU HAVE TO CH Under Ed Orgeron’s direction, LSU reconfigures coaching staff, promotes and hires new coaches BY JOSHUA THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_
THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES
LSU’s coaching staff has a new look, starting with a new head coach. Interim head coach Ed Orgeron, a Larose native, held his introductory press conference on Monday after taking over for former coach Les Miles on Sunday. “Whatcha say guys?” he said as he walked up to the podium. Orgeron’s press conference was filled with promises of improvements to the offense, a focus on fixing clock management issues and a staffwide shakeup. Orgeron said defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who is in his first season with LSU, will be associate head coach to Orgeron to kick off a list of coaching-staff changes. “He’s one of the best defensive coordinators of all of college football,” Orgeron said. “We’re going to lean on him, and we have ideas that we’ve shared from successful programs.” To get rid of late game clock management issues, Orgeron plans to have someone in the press box at all times to monitor the game clock. Including Aranda, Steve Ensminger, Dameyune Craig, Eric Mateos and Austin Thomas all have new roles within the coaching staff. Ensminger, who played quarterback for LSU in 1979, will assume play calling duties from offensive coordinator Cam Cameron after he was fired on Sunday. Under Ensminger, expect to look for a more “creative offense,” Orgeron said. “A change in the way we do things [is what they need],” Orgeron said. “Some freshness. Some energy. When things don’t work, you have to change them. We’re going to flip the script.” Offensive play calling isn’t new for Ensminger, who has experience acting as offensive coordinator at McNeese State, Louisiana Tech, Clemson University and Texas A&M. Quarterbacks coach Steve Kragthorpe will assist Ensminger in play calling but will not be on the field, Orgeron said. Craig will now also assume Orgeron’s previous role as LSU’s
recruiting coordinator. From 2010-12, Craig was the recruiting coordinator at Florida State where he helped bring in three straight top 10 recruiting classes, according to 247sports. Austin Thomas will assume the responsibilities from former assistant director of operations Dean Dingman, who was also fired on Sunday. Thomas decided to leave LSU in February for the player personnel position, but returned to LSU in May and was made the associate athletic director on Sunday. LSU’s new defensive line coach Pete Jenkins coached under Orgeron at USC as the defensive line coach. Jenkins, at 75 years old, is now entering his third stint with the Tigers. Jenkins coached at LSU from 1980-90, and again from 2000-01. “When I introduced that Pete Jenkins was going to coach our defensive line, our team went crazy,” Orgeron said. “He won’t only be our defensive line coach. He’s going to be my mentor and my right-hand man.” Two graduate assistants also earned new promotions, Orgeron said. Assistant Eric Mateos, who was the graduate assistant at Arkansas for three seasons, was elevated to tight ends coach and Dennis Johnson was assigned the role of linebackers coach instead of Bradley Dale Peveto, who will direct special teams only. Since joining LSU in 2005, Peveto worked with the linebackers and the special teams unit, but Orgeron hopes intensified focus on special teams will further team-wide improvements. “We’ve got to get better there,” Orgeron said. “We’ve got some ideas he’s been working on all day. You’re going to see a new and improved defense.” All the changes Orgeron made are intended to bring new life to an unranked LSU team that lost two games in September for the first time since 2000. “We’re going to do things I’ve done in the past to re-energize the team,” Orgeron said. “This is all about our players. It’s about our players feeling good about themselves. They chose to come to LSU to be their very best, and they deserve it.”

DON’T WORK, HANGE THEM’ From tears to cheers, interim head coach Ed Orgeron re-energizes team
Sunday’s team meeting was an emotional roller coaster for the Tigers. Within minutes, the players went from an emotional low to a high — a shake-back only Ed Orgeron could induce. Former coach Les Miles spoke with his team one last time on Sunday afternoon after being relieved and then replaced by Orgeron. The players were despondent after parting ways with the 12-year coach, but the mood changed when LSU athletic director Joe Alleva announced Orgeron, formerly the defensive line coach, as interim head coach. “Coach Miles came in, and it was dull beHASKELL WHITTINGTON/ The Daily Reveille cause we knew what happened,” said sophomore outside linebacker Arden Key. “He choked up a little bit, and we choked up too, just because of the love we have for him. Coach O came in, switched it around and brought a lot of energy to the team. His energy is contagious.” During his introductory press conference on Monday, Orgeron said he’s instituting a new offensive scheme, which poses spreading the ball and being more creative in the passing attack with former tight ends coach Steve Ensminger as the new offensive coordinator. The players weren’t yet up to speed on all of Orgeron’s proposed changes, but if one thing’s certain, it’s that he’s re-energizing a once-dejected team with two losses in September. “He’s got to have Red Bull or something in his office,” said sophomore offensive guard Will Clapp. “I don’t even have that much energy … He’s the type of guy that’d headbutt a player with his helmet on.” Orgeron has experience taking over a team that was lacking in the energy department after its preseason goals
were shattered early in the season. He served as USC’s interim head coach in 2013 after the team lost two of its first five games and consequently fired Lane Kiffin. Orgeron salvaged the Trojans’ season, winning six games with two losses. The USC job taught Orgeron what type of coach he is, he said, and playing with high energy an integral. Key said the locker room pregame under Miles was largely quiet, and he was one of the only ones who would be “turnt,” but Orgeron opened up the possibility for players to “turn up” before the game. “The game is still one of emotion,” Orgeron said. “It’s college football, and the guys want to get fired up. They want to get jacked up. They listen to music before the game now. They want to dance around. They want to have fun. It is the approach that we will take.” Junior offensive tackle K.J. Malone echoed Key’s sentiment and said he noticed a stark contrast in the LSU football facility’s environment on Monday. “I just feel like everybody is more hyped,” Malone said. “It’s just how Coach O is. Coach O yells all the time, so people are walking around yelling now.” As high-energy as he is, Orgeron still knows when it’s time to tone it down. He said he noticed players were fatigued from lengthy practices, so under his leadership the team will spend less time practicing and more in the meeting rooms. Sophomore tight end Foster Moreau said Orgeron’s practices are NFL-style, in which the workload is more fast-paced and efficient in a shortened amount of time. It should preserve the players’ bodies for Saturdays, Key added. “A lot of guys are excited about the news because we had a heavy workload,” Moreau said. “I’ve never really worked like that. It’s always been quantity of [repetitions] over the strict quality. I’m pretty excited to see how that works.”

SATIRE
Rosie O’Donnell victimized at Presidential debate HARP ON IT JOHN GAVIN HARP @SirJohnGavin History was made at the first of this year’s three Presidential debates: The candidates debated whether Rosie O’Donnell was a pig. American democracy apparently hinges on O’Donnell and her alleged pigishness. She has not responded to requests for comment on whether the United States is doomed. The debate started off with sniffles from Republican
nominee Donald Trump and mild cackles from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. They quickly evolved into battle cries from the candidates and actual cries for help from moderator Lester Holt. A GoFundMe in support of Holt’s mental rehabilitation has gone viral since the debate concluded. Clinton used the debate to put her fact checking skills front and center. “Well, Donald, I know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts,” Clinton snapped at one point during the verbal onslaught.
She assumed the role of Presidential fact checker after the Commission on Presidential Debates decide to forgo support for moderators to fact check candidates. “The candidates should factcheck each other,” said executive director of the commission Janet Brown. “Challenge accepted,” Clinton tweeted, with a link to a factchecking widget on her website before the debate. Throughout the debate, Clinton attempted to fact check Trump with little success, with Trump labeling her claims as “crooked lies.”
Trump speculated the center of Clinton’s crookedness could be found in one of the 30,000 personal emails she deleted from her private server and said he would release his tax returns after she released her emails. “We know there’s more than yoga appointments in there,” Trump said. “BENGHAZI!” Clinton rebuked Trump’s attacks by raising questions about why he never paid an architect for work designing a building on one of Trump’s properties. Trump simply claimed, “Maybe I didn’t like the guy’s work.”
Surprisingly, one stone left unturned was Clinton’s husband’s infidelities. Trump had made claims vowing to mention former President Bill Clinton’s affair during the debate. The claims proved to be fruitless, as mentions of Monica Lewinsky remained absent from the evening’s proceedings. “I’ll be back,” Trump said. “And I’m going to get your sleazy husband too!” John Gavin Harp is a 21-yearold mass communication senior from St. Francisville, Louisiana.
