Dave Aranda Possibility

Of LSU? No. A lower level school? Absolutely

I sure would like to keep that guy around.

Honestly....if he hires a talented OC & lets them pick staff/offense they want to run, why not?

What he brings to the field defensively would be lights out with a competent offense!

What if he isn't the political guy and just wants to teach/coach Defense?

Well if he doesnt want to be a HC, you pay him whatever he wants to stay at LSU a LONG time! Heck, we were paying CC 1+ mil a year for subpar performance

Is it possible that with the way the defense played Saturday night, that he may have positioned himself to at least be in the running for HC at the end of the season?

---

Possible, sure. The head coach is basically running a decently-sized business. Doing press conferences, convincing boosters to donate, working with the AD, etc.

The DC and OC both are running the position coaches who work with the players. That's important for performance but are completely different jobs.

About all they have in common is recruiting. The AD will always assess how well someone brings in booster money, that matters more than how well the D happened to play.

He's a quiet cerebral guy who doesn't like the limelight or recruiting that much.

---

I wouldn't say this. He's only being respectful and not overshadowing those put in place above him. It's an admirable quality.

hire Art Briles as OC and his son

The sexual-violence scandal at Baylor University that cost (Art Briles) his job involved 17 women who reported sexual or domestic assaults involving 19 players, including four alleged gang rapes, since 2011...

In at least one case, Briles knew of incidents and chose to sit on the info instead of going to police, university judicial staff or Title IX office. He also "set up a system" to make sure he'd be the last to know about off-the-field incidences, likely inferring that his assistants knew and took action before he did.

Although Ukwuachu pleaded not guilty to the charges, there wasn’t much doubt that “Jane Doe” had been raped. When she went to the hospital after the encounter, the examining nurse found “vaginal injuries, including redness, bleeding and friction injuries.”

Jane Doe had been a virgin.

Her testimony during the short trial was nothing short of chilling. “He was using all of his strength to pull up my dress and do stuff to me,” she testified. “He had me on my stomach on the bed and he was on top of me.” Her head caught between the bed and a desk, she was “screaming ‘stop’ and ‘no’ ” as Ukwuachu raped her.

Baylor University admitted Thursday that administrators discouraged reports of sexual assault on campus, even going so far as to retaliate against one accuser.

These details and more came from an independent investigation ordered by the school’s board of regents into how the Texas university handled reports of sexual assault, especially accusations against football players. The report found a “fundamental failure” by the school to obey federal laws to protect female students and a belief the winning football program was “above the rules.”

In response to the report, the board of regents fired football coach Art Briles.

Baylor University did not investigate a sexual assault report made against two football players for more than two years, despite the school's obligation under federal law to immediately address allegations of sexual violence involving students.

In 2013, the Waco Police Department ... informed Baylor officials about an off-campus incident involving former All-Big 12 tight end Tre'Von Armstead and former practice squad player Myke Chatman. Waco police also told the alleged victim they had contacted Baylor, but ... Baylor didn't begin looking into the allegations until Sept. 11, 2015.

espn

art and kendall should both be banned from college football, they are reprehensible people. winning isnt worth this.

Anyone who wants Briles is retarded.

His D has allowed 7 td's in the last 8 game.

We should be fricking undefeated.
