Per 247Sports:

Baylor coach Dave Aranda addressed speculation linking his name to a possibility for LSU or USC's current head coaching opening on Monday, slamming the door on a return to the Tigers. Aranda spent several seasons at defensive coordinator for LSU before taking the job at Baylor after the 2019 season.

"It’s sad when those days, like last week, when those days come," Aranda said. "You don’t ever want to see that….I love it here and my family loves it here. Baylor has been everything I’ve wanted it to be."

I dont see a "No" anywhere in there....


Tomlin, was a no


This.... not so much. Thats typical deflection right there. If anything, that makes me feel like there may actually be a better chance than I expected

Didn't see the press conference, but from what you quoted...that's not a no. That's a "we are happy...for now".

Evidently the author is new to coaching searches.

Heeding the advice of experts.

That’s a yes if offered answer in coach speak.

That sounds nothing like a “no” to me.

Remember when Saban was coaching the Dolphins… he said “NO” to rumors he was going to Bama and look how that turned out…

That sounds like typical coach speak, we are very happy here. If offered LSU he would jump at the chance

Would love to see Aranda here but I doubt he wants to relocate his family again. Getting them out of Baton Rouge was hard. A lot of money can probably change that though.

The whole non-denial denial actually works both ways. You never want to give a hard no because you have to maintain leverage over your current employer for future extension negotiations.

Mmmm, positioning for $$$$$$$$ but there isn't a NO in that statement.

Have you never seen one of these coaching changes unfold? No coach ever expressed interest at a press conference. Many have said they are nowhere near interested and end up leaving. Do you really believe if Scott comes in with an offer he would say no to stay at Baylor?
