It isn’t unusual for teams to cover up the bad behavior of their players.
This though is a black grandmother, so Ed Orgeron should be ashamed of himself.
Here is the story.
She remembers vividly the day in December 2017 that Derrius Guice, LSU’s then-standout running back, and his friends approached her while she was sitting at her post outside Elevator 8 in Bunker G.
“I like to f— women like you, you older women, because y’all know y’all like us young men to f— y’all,” Scott said Guice told her. “And, you know you want this body.”
She complained to LSU athletic department administrators, the school’s student accountability director, and directly to Guice’s head coach, Ed Orgeron. Nothing happened, she said.
In his interview with Husch Blackwell, Orgeron denied having direct communications with Scott.
Orgeron lied to investigators about not speaking to Scott, she and her granddaughter told USA TODAY. The granddaughter, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation by her employer, said she was listening when Orgeron talked to her grandmother on speakerphone.
There was no mistaking his deep, Cajun “frog voice,” they both said.
“Coach O is telling a lie,” Scott said, as tears rolled down her cheek. “He’s not telling the truth. I don’t have no reason to lie. I know who I was talking to. He knows he talked to me.”
Why is Coach O still lying?
Probably to protect his job.
Guice turned out to be a horrible person with multiple sexual and physical assault claims against him.
It didn’t matter to LSU as long as they kept winning.
