re: Hanny said Aranda will be a head coach by 2018

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."

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.
