Report: Texas A&M Expected To Make Serious Run At LSU DC Dave Aranda

5....4...3...2...1.... melt

If we dont match whatever they offer then we are less concerned with winning than we even thought.

if that happens, this program will implode

If he leaves, LSU will need 10+ years to recover.

Jimbo really....stop trying because it want happen

They hired Chief. That worked out quite well for them. /sarc The definition of insanity is doing things repeatedly but hoping for different results.

Work at a company that is heavily rooted and connected to aTm in many ways. Don’t burn me on the stake if I’m wrong which I truly hope I am but supposedly Aranda to aTm is very plausible. Pushing to ‘present’ new DC today.

hold on to aranda, watch a&m piss away millions on jimbo and continue to lose, ??? profit

Texas A&M is desperate for for giving Jimbo a contract for ten years for that much money

When will they learn that our homegrown players make our coordinators better.

Isn't this old news?

I love DA but that is a serious offer and choice for him to make. LSU has some stout defenses prior to DA and will have stout defenses once he finally departs.

LSU has plenty of money, too. This is getting ridiculous nationwide. Contracts mean nothing! Schools are willing to pay buyouts, regardless of the amount. Why not just renegotiate every season with your coaches. It’s fair for everyone. That said, I don’t think Aranda would leave with all the talent he will have next year. A&M is a wannabe. Plus, Dave said his family absolutely loves BR. And obviously, he and Coach O get along very well. I don’t think he would take a chance with Jimbo’s quirkiness. But, you never know. The program will endure!

LSU football lawlz

This worries me but not as much as Green Bay Packers DC job worries me.

I say what I am about to say with all the tiger love in my heart. If I am Aranda, given what I have seen the last 1.5 seasons as O as a HC, I am gone. LSU football is on a solid downward trajectory and our athletic department in run by an incompetent boob. A&M is aggressively trying to make their football program a winner while LSU's administration is treating our football program as a cash cow. Just like in business an up and comer wants to work for the aggressively growing brand, not the cash cow. I fear that unless something changes (AD Leadership) LSU is going to have a hard time holding onto talented coaches and will have years of coach O types. Hell the reality is Saban was an aberration, not the norm for us. I hate to say that but look at it and its true.

Sooooooo we might need an OC and a DC?? Melt is about to happen.

Strange...I posted a topic saying I heard rumors of this last week...as expected the rant went nuclear on me...I’m a liar, I’m retarded, I’m an idiot...the usual....then TD took the entire thread down within an hour. Can we pay our DC more than our head coach???

Let him go, who cares at this point. We have a gumbo cook as our head coach.

He ain’t leaving, except for the NFL
