Aranda is further down on the list for HC but still before Coach O.


I find the arguments of the "anybody but O" crowd are getting logically absurd.

"We must have an offensive genius for our next coach. One with a proven record of winning as head coach at a major program. So, even if Orgeron wins, let's hire Aranda as our HC before O."

Makes sense.

I'm not sure that Orgeron should be our next HC. But, I'm open to the possibility.
One thing I can see in our future for sure if that happens, is a bunch of miserable negatigers working against him his entire tenure, hoping he fails so they can be proven right. The AD's in waiting who occupy this board are plentiful.

I don't think you're represented the commonly expressed opinions accurately.
There are some people who want a great offensive mind as the new head coach - these people do not want Aranda as head coach either.
There are some people who want a big name head coach with a proven record of program building and sustained success - those people are generally arguing against Orgeron, Herman, and Aranda.
There are other people who don't want someone unless they are capable of sustaining excellence on at least one side of the ball - those people just don't want Orgeron.

In short, there are a variety of different and independently reasonable explanations for why people might be against Orgeron compared to other plausible alternatives. I, for example, would be very hard to convince Orgeron was a better HC hire than Aranda. But I know some people will disagree. That's fine. I think I could even honestly describe their reasons without building a straw man in the process.

If you're of the belief that what O is doing right now is completely or largely by his own merits and isn't attributable to multiple additional factors, then I could see how you would think that.

I happen to think given how dire the situation was with Miles having reportedly divided the locker room, a number of coaches could've taken over and we still would've seen a re-energized team.

I'm not. This is too important of a hire to give the keys to someone that hasn't proven he can handle his own program. Nothing he can do this year can assuage that sentiment for me because this is not his team.
