So the ship tanks in 2 years. We fire O. Why promote Aranda? Why internal hire again?

I actually agree. If he wants to stay as DC great

If not...we have to clean house to install a new culture. More internal inertia isn't needed

Agree

That’s why I was ready for a totally new regime after Les. If the new coach wanted to keep Aranda or any staff member, fine, but shouldn’t be mandated.

Nobody, including Aranda, isn’t replaceable.

Aranda's contract makes it likely that he will either be offered the HC job or whoever would be next HC would have to agree to keep him.

I don't see an O buyout and a 5-7.5 million buyout for Aranda too.

Not happening.

For a few reasons:

1. Aranda would always have the defensive side of the ball solid.
2. He’s known for his incredible work ethic and attention to detail. Those are two hallmarks of successful head coaches.
3. Players love playing for him and coaches love working with him. These two things, combined with previous two, are great indicators of future success.
4. He’s clearly intelligent enough to adapt to his environment. He can think outside the box to hire outside the program.

In summation – Intelligence, work ethic, adaptability, attention to detail, respect from peers, and youth.

And he's not from Louisiana. He's not "one of us", which goddamnit, appears to be what we need.

Just like O did

No - because it is easier to see/adjust to others' mistakes than one's own - that's a fact.

Because Aranda will see the folly of meddling on that side of the ball, will take the best OC available and let him do his thing.


Just like O did

Aranda can run mental laps around Orgeron.

They aren't in the same stratosphere of coaching and intelligence. Period.

Aranda has all the characteristics of a star in the making. All the “he only wants to be a DC” talk is nothing more than a rant tale. He said some things and the rant has turned that into indisputable inevitable fact. If he wants the gig, id like to be the school that finds out if he’s the real deal cause if he leaves, he’s never coming back. It’s not like he’s some entrenched, O minion that’s part of the good ole boy club. It’s like he’s the black sheep of this coaching staff

Aranda is a 'legit' 3rd option, if you go after a few big time coaches and get shot down.

Bravo dude.

Bayou Cowboy, I said the something keep the defensive staff hire a lb or safety coach who can recruit.

And use the other 6 spots on the offensive side of the ball
