Get ready, Tiger Nation — Netflix is bringing one of LSU’s most iconic figures to the screen. The streaming giant has officially announced the release date for its much-anticipated sports documentary *”One for the Ages: The Ed Orgeron Story,”* set to premiere on July 19, 2025.
The film takes a deep dive into the life and coaching career of Ed Orgeron, the gravel-voiced Louisiana native who led the LSU Tigers to a historic 2019 national championship season. Known for his fiery passion, deep Southern roots, and unforgettable soundbites, Coach O became more than just a football coach — he became a cultural icon in Louisiana and across the college football landscape.
According to Netflix, the documentary will feature exclusive interviews with Orgeron himself, former players including Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, and behind-the-scenes footage from LSU’s legendary title run. The film also promises to explore the personal struggles and triumphs that shaped Orgeron’s journey — from his early coaching days to the height of his career in Baton Rouge.
“Coach O’s story is bigger than football,” said series producer Carla Bennett. “It’s about perseverance, pride, and what it means to represent your home with heart and grit.”
Fans can expect a mix of raw emotion, inspiring moments, and of course, plenty of classic Orgeron one-liners.
Whether you’re an LSU diehard or just love a great underdog story, *”One for the Ages”* is shaping up to be one of the must-watch sports documentaries of the summer.
So mark your calendars and get the popcorn ready — Coach O is ready for his spotlight.
