I can promise you if Coach O fails, LSU will NOT promote an assistant on his staff to Head Coach. You can put that in the bank. Aranda or whoever. Won't happen.

If the Coach O era is unsuccessful, we have the best DC in college football to promote as the HC

so if a guy we promoted from within, who had horrible prior experience as a HC, gets fired, we're going to replace him with...... another guy promoted from within who has ZERO head coaching experience???

You honestly think that's a good idea???

Genius....No
Required....Yes
Alleva did not have a choice after his incompetence was revealed (again).

I disagree. If Aranda continues to show he is one of the best DCs in football then why wouldn't LSU promote him to HC?

uh, because coordinator and head coach are completely different jobs requiring completely different skill sets.

A big school hiring a HC with zero HC experience is a big risk. Most elite coaches start at lower schools and prove it there first, then move up. Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh...

Aranda should have gotten the job over 0 in the first place.

My point is if other power 5 programs try to snag him as HC then why wouldn't LSU give him a shot. Sometimes you have to take risks.

LSU would be fortunate to retain Aranda as HC

Or was the genius move bringing in Orgeron 2 years ago as the coach in waiting......Huh, yeah, think about that

we're taking a massive risk right now with Orgeron. If he fails, you want to double down with another unproven head coach?

Jimbo Fisher had zero HC experience and we took Miles instead of promoting him. I hope we don't overlook Aranda and make the same mistake.

great analysis - since Jimbo succeeded then Aranda will too.

And maybe Aranda will be a great HC one day, but I don't want to let him (or anyone else) cut his teeth here. Give me a proven HC.
