Jordy says he talked to a Baylor staff member in the last 24 hours

He was told LSU hasn’t contacted Aranda yet.

Not saying it's wrong, but this means nothing. Why would a Baylor staff member know who Aranda and his agent have talked to?

I'm sorry, but Jordy is getting annoying. He is desperate for clicks. Used to love the guy and still like his basketball opinions, but this coaching search he has really showed his arse.

I would hope that isn't true, because if we haven't even contacted him, then they really are putting all their eggs in the basket for Riley. That would also mean that they're pursuing someone else other than Aranda as second and third option, which I'm not a fan of to be honest.

IMO There is probably little reason for them
To know if Aranda had been contacted yet or not. It would likely serve as a distraction to the coaches/team while they are fighting for a New Years 6 bowl. It may be true but I don’t think it necessarily is. The one thing of note is that Jordy may have a connection with Austin Thomas who is the GM out there, that is probably the only guy who would know.

So we’re talking to Mark Stoops but not Aranda?

Gruss on 24/7 already said it wouldn't be Aranda.

Ok, so what?

Let’s say LSU has contacted Aranda. He’s not gonna be going around telling people “guess what, LSU wants me to be their next coach. I just talked to them”.

Look….. Aranda has done well this season. No questioning that.

He’s a great defensive mind. No question about that.

When you’re ensuring the future success of a major program, you have got to be diligent about track record. Dave Aranda does not have a long track record.

The college football world is littered with the “bodies” of promising coaches with great success at lower programs who were given a chance at major programs…..and failed spectacularly.

When this type of money is being waved around at such a prominent position, you CANNOT take such a big risk as hiring someone with one season of success as a head coach. Period.

I love Dave Aranda. He’s not ready. Will he be the next best thing? Maybe. Maybe not.

I’m not willing to take that bet as the LSU Head Coach right now.

A Baylor staff member who would even talk to Jordy would be someone who was with Aranda at LSU. Meatball? Grimes? Some GA?

None of them would likely know if Aranda has talked with LSU; or if they did it'd mean Aranda would plan to bring them, and in which case they'd not gab about it to someone like Jordy.
