Why was Riley ever preferred over Aranda?

Aranda knows LSU better, locks down us having a great defense, and has done more with less talent at Baylor, comparatively speaking, to Riley/Oklahoma if just looking at this season in a microcosm. Bring Aranda home somehow SW!

Probably because of the heismans, playoffs and all those conference titles he’s won

Because Riley has more head coaching experience and has proven he can take teams to the playoffs. Is he a better choice? I don’t know, but that doesn’t take away from the facts.

Because Aranda has also done less with less at Baylor. Riley locks down offense and is a better recruiter.

Agree Riley is overrated. Not saying he wouldn't do well at LSU but time and time again he never has a defense that gives up less than 30+ a game in his life and any defense with a pulse shuts him down.

Is losing big games in a conf you should dominate really locking down anything?

Riley recruits well because he inherited a program that was in good shape and they’re a blue blood. He’s a maintainer.

LSU is in need of a rebuild. The current foundation is shite.

Well, the question is, is Aranda still available, or did Scott frick up Aranda and Napier by pursuing Riley too long?

I would be ok with Aranda especially now that we might have lost out on Riley, but I think LSU needs a great offensive mind coach and can develop quarterbacks.

After weeks of telling other fanbases they are scared, gifs and memes... now.. now Riley is overrated.

Most pathetic fanbase in college sports

No. This is the response after 2-3 weeks of claiming Riley to LSU? Doesn’t hurt for you “baws” to eat a little crow huh
