Aranda signed up to coach under Miles.


Right, he signed up to coach with an offense that struggled to move the ball and leaves his defense out on the field. I'm sure he'll be elated to have a coach who can move the chains. The only way he goes is if the new coach brings his own and just doesn't want one of the better DC's in the game.

ETA: And lets be honest, he didn't come here for Miles, he came here for a hefty pay raise.

I don't have the stats in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that we did well in Miles's tenure in TOP.

Maybe. And I'd hope we'd make it really hard for him to leave if the new HC doesn't bring his own DC. But if Aranda is ambitious and wants to learn under different, successful coaches, I'm not sure he sticks around to coach under Orgeron if that's who we wind up with for example. And the coaching community is very close--he may have heard that Jimbo is a huge a-hole to work for and that their styles wouldn't be a good fit.

I hope he's here next year and think he probably will be. But to not prepare for his potential departure--or anybody's on the staff, frankly--would be a short-sighted mistake.

And for the talent, I'm sure. I agree he didn't come b/c of Miles. I might have read into his sideline demeanour, but it looked more like he had no love lost for Miles. He's either here for a chance at the head coaching spot or as a springboard for another HC spot somewhere else.
