Jimbo and Herman didn't work out..what other coach do you hire that keeps aranda and this year's class together? What other coach is worth the risk of taking that kind of hit?

Just about any other big names who are also solid recruiters.

Fuente and Gundy would've both been very solid.

That's a pretty short sighted view of the sitch

We should've just kept miles if those were the only two qualifications for the job.

Who cares? You shouldn't choose a HC based on the fact that he can keep a coach who will eventually leave and recruits (some of which will bust and the ones that don't be gone in 3 years). Give me a head coach who can actually coach please.

Keeping aranda seemed to be very important to the powers that be, what other hire makes that more possible?

No recruiting class (you don't lose an entire class btw) is as important as making a quality hire at HC. A quality hire at HC would by definition be a good recruiter and would have recruiting rolling even if there is a relatively small loss due to a change.

And, given that LSU was basically making Aranda the top assistant coach in the nation, just about any coach would have kept him.

It shouldn't be more important than finding the best HC.

I read on this board that keeping him was more important than hiring Jimbo, so I'm still at a loss as to why he wasn't made head coach in the first place

You want us to give names of people who would want Aranda and also has experience in recruiting?

Why don't you give us names of people who don't have those qualifications. The list would be much shorter.

Hiring a head coach for long term success is always, always bigger than one single recruiting class.

Long term for LSU, are you really putting Aranda and a recruiting class over a quality head coach?

Newsflash, Aranda isnt going to be here for long anyway

Starting to like the Aranda/Riley combo.
We may not miss a beat and may be way better on offense.

That's because nobody cares about any of these short term solutions. Both of the things that this administration wanted to do are short term answers.

So to answer your question, nobody. Nobody would have a better chance to keep this ONE recruiting class together better than O. As far as Aranda? Nobody knows that.

Now that I've answered your question, answer this. Is picking a HC for one recruiting class the best way to run your program?
