Give Aranda the job. Coach O to DC. Lane Kiffin to OC.

I didn't say you said he's your #1 choice but you do want him. This is your quote.

people learn from their mistakes and get better - every indication so far is that he has done just that. I would be willing to give him a shot based on what i have seen in his interim stint at USC and what he has done so far at LSU

It seems to me pretty clear most exceptional head coaches are functionally coordinators in some way. Just look at list of external candidates people would love to have at LSU: Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, Chip, Fisher, Herman, Patterson, Peterson, Petrino. All of these are masters of one side of the ball.

Certainly, outstanding coordinators can fail when they become head coaches... but previously outstanding head coaches also fail when they go to another school. You just don't know who will be the next Carroll, Saban, Meyer, etc so IMO the best you can do is identify the most talented coach who you can get and hire the bugger.
