Does Coach O have more football smarts than he gets credit for?

Aranda thinks so.

He's got a great mind football wise.

quote:

I learn a lot from him.


Aranda praises O's football mind.

From who?

People who like him:

Too much credit.

People who don't:

Not enough credit.

He's an experienced coach, isn't an X's and O's genius but understands the game better than anyone on this board ever has or ever will.

TLDR:
He gets too much credit from those who like the hire and not enough credit from those who don't.

Absofreakinglutely.

He isn't a football rain man type such as Saban or Meyer but he knows enough to run a program . Which is the equivalent of running a multi-million dollar corporation .

Plus he's a great recruiter , I know he's not setting the world on fire currently but he's more or less kept a top 5 class intact which is impressive with a regime change .

Aranda is a scientist

no offense to O but he would learn from an ape, because he study them and drew a conclusion about behavior.

Wow, impressive. I'd hope a guy who has spent his entire professional life coaching football would.

He was just hired as head coach of the Louisiana State University Tigers Football Team. Yes, he has more smarts than people (the rant) gives him credit for.

Except Aranda didn't say O was an ape. Aranda said O had a GREAT mind.

I think he knows a ton about DLine play and defensive fronts and how to attack blocking schemes.

Idk how much knows about play calling and back end stuff.

Who is "he" in this scenario? Miles? I don't think that's too far-fetched.

Well, a portion of the rant thinks he is retarded, so he is probably a genius.

My dachshund has a GREAT mind too

doesn't mean anything. I like O so don't knight for him against me.

My point was people who are observant and intelligent learn from the gifted and less gifted alike.

Despite your sentence structure, if the import was that Aranda is such a scientist, Aranda could learn by watching an ape bc Aranda observes and reaches a conclusion which = learning-- I got your comment.
If you meant something else-- you are right-- I didn't follow you.
