Honest question about Riley, Aranda, etc.

Riley - Going into the Final 4 matchup with Lincoln, the narrative was his style would never work against SEC teams - and it was all about his faults. This year, sure he's undefeated, but he's struggled against vastly less superior teams - I would think if another school was going after him, we'd be the first to point out that he barely beat Kansas (the worst team in FBS) with Caleb Williams. They struggled against a crappy Tulane team and an average West Virginia team. Why all the LSU fan excitement for him versus some of the others? Because he's young and has an exciting offense? The tight wins this year with very superior talent is eye opening.

Aranda - I love Dave Aranda as much as anyone. But for folks to say he's better than Jimbo, Tucker, Riley, etc. What are basing it on? He has a 2 loss team this year, and has less than a 2 year resume with

Tucker - outside of this year, his head coaching resume if full of losses each year. His pass defense this year even with a highly ranked team is atrocious.

I know the answer to all these questions are just wait until ___ gets to coach with LSU's talent!

I think the message is there is no home run, sure thing hire. In fact, I'd argue that Jimbo has probably the best resume with a national championship, built a program in the SEC that seems like it is a consistent winner now that he's recruited his way (with Kellen Mond and a backup QB).

It'll be an interesting few weeks...
