re: Dave Aranda cracked the Saban code last night.

Given the fact that this is his first year, and plugging in current talent to implement his new defensive scheme...it's impressive! And what's more, the defense is still improving!

So yea, dude is brilliant and we should do everything to keep him. The question is, what are his ultimate career goals? Does he want to be a HC in the NFL? Does he want to be a HC in CF? Maybe he's not interested in all the PR/Admin distractions that come with the HC job? Maybe the guy just loves developing youth and the weekly chess match against opposing coordinators?

Obviously, coaching up millionaires is very different than coaching up future millionaires. Does he know his own heart? He named his son Ronin. What does it all mean??? (Just a little humor there)...

But I'm not joking when I say that AD staff, including Joe Alleva, needs to be working on answering these questions, as in yesterday...because the only way we should ever lose this guy is to the NFL. And even then, I'd make them pay for it.

Don't overlook Aranda's goals, Joe. Just sayin'.
