NETFLIX BOMBSHELL: Streaming Giant Sets Release Date for Long-Awaited Documentary One for the Ages: The Ed Orgeron Story
LOS ANGELES, CA — Netflix has officially announced the release date for its much-anticipated sports documentary, One for the Ages: The Ed Orgeron Story, sending waves of excitement across the college football world. Set to premiere globally on July 26, 2025, the docuseries promises an intimate, unfiltered look at one of the most charismatic and beloved figures in LSU history—and college football as a whole.
Coach Ed Orgeron, affectionately known as “Coach O,” captured the nation’s attention during LSU’s legendary 2019 season, leading the Tigers to an undefeated national championship run. Now, his story—steeped in grit, glory, and Southern swagger—is finally getting the full cinematic treatment. Netflix bills the project as “a heart-pounding journey through football, family, and fierce determination,” and early buzz suggests it may be one of the streaming giant’s most emotional sports features to date.
The trailer, which dropped Monday morning, opens with Orgeron’s unmistakable gravel-throated voice: “I’m not perfect. But I was born to coach football.” What follows is a cinematic blend of archival footage, never-before-seen locker room moments, and interviews with LSU legends like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. The film doesn’t shy away from Orgeron’s rocky past—from personal struggles to early coaching stumbles—but instead uses them to build a powerful story of resilience and redemption.
Fan reaction has been immediate and electric. “I got chills watching the trailer,” tweeted one LSU fan. “Coach O deserves this spotlight. He gave us the greatest season in college football history.” Another wrote, “Cajun fire, locker room legends, and Coach O yelling ‘Geaux Tigers’? I’m already sold.”
Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ezra Goodman, One for the Ages reportedly spans over two years of production, with deep dives into Coach O’s Louisiana roots, his inspirational leadership style, and the 2019 season that cemented his place in history. It also touches on his post-championship departure from LSU—a chapter still fresh and complex for many Tiger faithful.
Netflix executives say the documentary is about more than just football. “It’s a story of passion, perseverance, and the American spirit,” said VP of Documentaries Lisa Halperin. “Coach O’s journey resonates far beyond the field.”
One for the Ages: The Ed Orgeron Story drops July 26 exclusively on Netflix. LSU fans, college football diehards, and documentary lovers alike—mark your calendars. This one’s not just a film. It’s a legacy.
