Orgeron camp propaganda to knock Aranda down in 2016


When LSU first hired Aranda, I did some reading about him. In one interview long before he was at LSU he said recruiting was his least favorite part of coaching.
He did not say he didn't like it, just that it was least favorite.

I think Les Miles proved this statement to be a fallacy pretty definitively
Are you saying that Le Miles built long term success at LSU? Because I don't think he did at all

Kinda funny how this Aranda can't recruit narrative appeared out of thin air and people are latching on to it.
What I said was that he doesn't enjoy recruiting.

And that knock was around when he coached at LSU. This isn't new

It floated around the media when Aranda was at LSU. That's as specific as I can be

Baylor is recruiting any worse or any better since he got there.

The narrative that Aranda can't recruit is overblown. He snagged some really good recruits with his time here not to mention he took several 3* and made them NFL players.


It is overblown. It’s not that Aranda can’t or won’t recruit. If that were the case, he’d be in the NFL right now. He can definitely sell what he does and his proven track record to kids, especially on the defensive side.

However, I do think it’s evident that Dave isn’t the ace closer head coach that guys like Saban, Kirby and Jimbo have proven to be. However, a smart head coach is going to surround himself with people who make their organizations better rather than buddies and yes men. I think we all know Dave’s a pretty smart guy, so I wouldn’t be too worried if he got the job until proven otherwise.
