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."

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.

Here is where you lose me.

I would argue that this team was undoubtedly Miles team. They loved him. But none of us expected this team to win the big ones this year. Most of us hoped they would. Most of us knew they had the potential based on talent. But nobody expected it.

If Orgeron takes a team who loved Miles and turns them into winners down this murderous November stretch, he will have exceeded my expectations by a long shot. He will have demonstrated to me that he can take ownership of this team.

Now, does that mean he should be our HC? Perhaps not. But to fail to seriously consider him at that point seems silly to me.
