Coach O Spins the Block on ‘Roll Tide’ Heckler in Viral Video

If there’s one thing every LSU fan knows, it’s that yelling “Roll Tide” around Ed Orgeron is a bold move, and one guy learned the viral way.

A video making its rounds on social media, posted initially to TikTok by @OGRoby and resurfaced on X by @NickyPerkss, shows former LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron out for a jog. As he runs past a bystander, the man decides to take a cheap shot in the form of Alabama’s infamous rally cry: “Roll Tide.”

LSU vs. Alabama Rivalry

To the casual fan, this may seem like harmless fun. But anyone who understands the SEC—and especially the heated rivalry between LSU and Alabama, knows that this is more than just a phrase. It’s a declaration of football war.

Coach O, who led LSU to a perfect season and a national championship in 2019, didn’t let the comment slide. Moments after acknowledging the fan with a quick wave, Orgeron circled back, calmly but directly confronting the man about his disrespectful comment.

“Why Would You Say That?”

Rather than lose his cool, Coach O tapped into his natural presence as a leader. In the clip, he can be heard calmly but firmly questioning the man, asking why he thought yelling "Roll Tide" was a good idea. The heckler quickly switches up, apologizing profusely, realizing that Coach O wasn’t having it.

Coach O didn’t yell. He didn’t curse. He didn’t escalate. He simply let it be known: you can joke all you want, but you better be ready to back it up, especially when the man you’re trolling is LSU royalty.

The Internet Reacts

The video has since gone viral, with most of the internet siding with Coach O. Fans from both sides of the rivalry chimed in, some praising the coach’s calm demeanor, others clowning the would-be troll for backing down so quickly.

Whether you’re Team LSU or Team Bama, there’s a lesson here: Coach O may be retired from the sidelines, but he’s still ready to check someone who gets out of line.

With no shouting, no drama, just the kind of accountability only a true coach can deliver.

So next time you see Coach O out and about? Maybe just yell “Geaux Tigers” and keep it moving.
