If Baylor was having a great year, his name would be all over this board like it was last year.

Give me a guy that has proven again and again that he has taken a bad situation and made it better.

A great head coach is elite at these 3 things, very few have all 3, but in your search you must find 2 and a strategy for the 3rd. 1) culture. 2) recruiting. 3) scheme

Aranda has shown his intelligence since before he was even hired at LSU

Aranda's biggest issue is being at Baylor and recruiting. What was the big potential knock on Kelly coming from ND? Recruiting.

Aranda is one of the smartest CFB minds out there. I'm sure he understands the value of recruiting and would create a recruiting-first staff just like Kelly if he were hired here.

I don't worry about culture with either.

Aranda has the superior mind/scheme.

The question is who can hire the best recruiting staff. Kelly has done a lot better than even die hard LSU fans would have thought a year ago. The variable we don't have is what Aranda would do.

I’d still take him at AU in a Waco minute.

Baylor wasn't expected to be very good this year. They lost a lot of talent from last year. This thread is dumb.

It's not just that for Aranda.

He was a popular pick for AU people, before the articles came out about him being kind of a recluse at Baylor and how great of a fit it was for him. Given our issues with boosters and "fit" - I think that probably had more impact on our view of him as a candidate than Baylor's record.

Well Aranda beat a good Oklahoma State team in the Championship year 2 after COVID raped the world. That’s a sign of fantastic coaching during that time when so many things are going on.
Last week they got smoked but definitely not indicative of how well they have played as a “team” most of the season minus there record which doesn’t reflect.
Look Baylor is Baylor winning consistently up there probably isn’t gonna happen often anyway.
Aranda has done a really nice job and I personally wasn’t sure he was a Head Coach based off personality.
Glad I was wrong.
