Los Angeles, CA – May 13, 2025
In a major announcement that’s sending shockwaves through the world of college sports, Netflix has officially unveiled the release date for its highly anticipated sports documentary, One for the Ages: The Ed Orgeron Story — and fans of LSU Football and college athletics are already counting the days.
Set to premiere July 12, 2025, the documentary promises to be a raw, emotional, and unfiltered look at one of the most unforgettable figures in modern college football: Ed Orgeron, the gravel-voiced, Cajun-born head coach who led the LSU Tigers to a historic undefeated national championship season in 2019.
A Deep Dive into Grit, Glory, and Gameday Grit
According to Netflix, the film will trace Orgeron’s rise from the bayous of Louisiana to the pinnacle of college football, where his fiery passion, blue-collar work ethic, and unmistakable voice turned him into a cult figure.
“This isn’t just a football story. It’s a story of grit, redemption, and heart,” says Netflix executive producer Dana Whitaker. “Coach O is the embodiment of southern toughness and unshakable belief.”
Expect never-before-seen locker room footage, emotional interviews with LSU legends like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and a behind-the-scenes look at how Orgeron rebuilt the LSU program and became a symbol of Cajun pride.
A Coach, A Culture, A Legacy
From his unforgettable pregame speeches to his colorful interviews and larger-than-life personality, Orgeron became more than a coach — he became an icon. The documentary will also explore the challenges he faced after LSU’s 2019 title run, including internal struggles, intense media scrutiny, and the eventual end of his coaching tenure.
Still, through all the highs and lows, One for the Ages makes one thing clear: Ed Orgeron’s legacy is etched into the soul of college football.
