re: Fighting Aranda not looking good

Oh, there were absolutely a lot of people here and across the LSU fanbase who wanted him to be the hire, and they were out in force after game 1 last year.

Maybe a few but Alot is utter bullshite. Alot of people did not want a first time head coach to take over one of the most prestigious programs in cfb.

We found out what O was once he had to actually coach and hire his own coaches.

Same for Aranda

Because all you pussies thought he was the next Saban.

This is so stupid of a response that I almost ignored it. That said, BK is a much better head coach than Aranda will ever be. Figure that one out if you can.

Meh. That’s just differences in perception at this point, but there were a lot of people saying that from right after last year’s FSU game leading up to game 2. Probably more then than during the coaching search. People are drawn to the familiar and he had just come off a very impressive season.

Another aspect was that, toward the end of the coaching search, it felt to many here like we were missing on candidates because various rumors weren’t playing out. We all know now that wasn’t the case, but people get nervous when they see potential coaches who may be promising taken off the board.

Anyway, when it became clear that Woody wasn’t interested in even talking to Aranda, a lot of people here got mad about it because of his ties here and the successful season he just had. I agree with you that he wasn’t very many people’s first choice, but a lot more thought he would be the best fallback guy because of the board’s perception that others were turning us down. This was obviously before Kelly suddenly entered the picture.

You are also giving way too much credit to tRant right here. There are two assholes in this thread still propping up O. This fanbase isn’t known for intelligence and good decision making.
