re: Is Aranda interested in the HC position?

I fully expect the "brain-trust" at LSU to keep CEO, lose Aranda, and keep most of the loser staff LM helped to create. Want to bet?

Our #1 focus should be on keeping Aranda. Not sure I want him as HC, but still. Pay that man!

I love Orgeron but I lost faith in him after Saturday. If he can win convincigly these last 3 games I may change my mind.

Here is the subtle difference. With guys that work under Saban or Meyer, an AD would be wise to consider the system. Far too many assistants under those two coaches are struggling as head coaches. In Aranda's case, this guy is proving his worth at every stop. He is clearly establishing himself as one of the best young up and coming coordinators in the country based upon what he is doing at multiple stops. Does it make him a sure fire success as a head coach? No, but he is sure to get a shot soon to prove it if he wants it. If Aranda wants the head gig, I think the administration is going to have to think long and hard about it.
