Aranda is:
1. Stable and knows LSU and its "fishing grounds"
2. Got to practice against the best offense in college history and probably knows its workings better than everyone but Brady.
3. Has a football IQ probably higher than Miles and O's added together.
4. Knows how to change tactics mid game/season to get results, the man can and will learn.

I also think he has genuine love for LSU.
I know he is not flash and bang, and even after thinking about his pluses, still has some uninspired, but I think we can all agree it would still be a solid advancement, and a safe bet.

I mean, if we can win ships with morons, right?

This. Its been 17 years since a HC for LSU has been the smartest person in the room. I would be pleased with Riley and Napier too, but Dave’s my top choice.

GG was literally the first media person to report Johnson as a finalist. Granted it was the day before the hire but lots of revisionist history happening here.


Revisionist history would be neglecting the bs Bianco noise GG was pumping out before he put out the Johnson info. GG is a blind squirrel who found a nut.

I'm fine with Aranda but it's not news unless it's sourced.

You think 2 tenured journalist with decades long ties to BR aren't sourced?

Need change, tiger rant

No one has real sources in this search. That’s why the media is so frustrated.

It’s 3 journalists. They aren't making shite up or hearing from their uncle’s 2nd cousin.
Kirk Herbstreit - Miles to Michigan.
ESPN - Herman to LSU.

I don't believe shite until the new HC is at the press conference podium introducing himself.

Gonna be funny when LSU hires Mr. I hate recruiting Aranda, the same guy they wanted fired the first half of the NC season and then gets skull drug every year by Florida and Billy Napier....Be just like the Spurrier/ Archer saga...By the way Billy will out recruit Louisiana over Aranda any day!! As an LSU football Alum it sucks we sit on our hands and never go get "The Guy"..not Napier per say but all the other good coaches mentioned...So now we settle for Aranda...Big mistake but typical..


Exactly how I feel. We have seen this movie over and over at LSU.

Because there is nothing to get excited about until you see Woodward and the next coach standing at the podium with Purple and Gold on the wall behind them. All the rest of this is just noise. Literally no one on this board really knows the answer. But all the speculation is entertaining.

Per “say”?

Too bad you never learned to write as alum.

I called GG out on Twitter for writing something I knew was false and he blocked me. He’s the worst person you could ever source here.

1 successful year is not something you base a decision on, of this magnitude.....IF.....there are other options. (See Mel Tucker)

"The Guy"
so who is “the guy” of this search? Surely if we’re looking at the sun belt, we should be looking at a coach that has actually won the conference outright?
