All the info so far on Dave Aranda

*Disclaimer: I am not an insider. I hear things here and there, but this is mostly published info from 247 and other sources, ultimately it's Dave Aranda's decision and no one can speak in absolutes but him.*
First off, I know lots of people are melting right now. This isn't a thread about Orgeron, this is for discussion about DA.
I won't defend the admin in this coaching search (or lack thereof), but one thing they did do is sit down with Aranda and make it clear they would do whatever it took to keep him here and happy. Any other offer he receives will be beaten, period.
They also spoke in depth about his future goals. Contrary to what's floating around here and on other message boards, Aranda sees the NFL as his next step, not a college HC job. That's crucial, because UT is looking at a pretty big rebuild on defense. The easiest path to the NFL for him is to continue to display his scheme with top talent, not show he can recruit and rebuild. Aranda favored keeping Orgeron, he feels the talent is going to keep coming and that wasn't a certainty if there were major staff overhauls.
Lastly, Aranda has been quoted as saying he "loves it here." My personal opinion is that the Herman/Aranda relationship is a bit over hyped, though I'm not gonna sit here and promise you Aranda will stay. That's up to him, I just think if you read between the lines he will be here until the NFL comes calling.

he does strike me as an nfl guy. kinda todd bowles-esque in terms of his quiet demeanor yet attention to detail as a DC.

Does NFL pay 2 mill plus for a coordinator?
Posted on 11/26/16 at 2:15 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
I agree with everything said here. I have faith LSU will hold on tight to Aranda
Posted on 11/26/16 at 2:15 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
Didn't they announce that Aranda has committed to staying?
Posted on 11/26/16 at 2:16 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
Is it me or is it kinda fricked up that you consult the DC about the HC position.

I just hope you are right DrunkenTigah, don't know if I can handle much more right now. LOL.

This will be great, if true.
But, I'm not believing anything until I see him agree to stay and a new contract signed.

If I'm not mistaken, he interviewed for the DC position at Green Bay, in the recent past. I would imagine that he would get more serious consideration, this time.
Posted on 11/26/16 at 2:19 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
But if another school wants to talk to him do we wipe our hands clean and just let him go?
Posted on 11/26/16 at 2:19 pm to TheDrunkenTigah
So we will go into a bidding war for a coordinator, but not HC
Great stuff
Great stuff

I simply don't believe that ANY offer will be matched

If Orgeron sticks the OC hire, retains Aranda, holds this recruiting class and is able to rapidly implement a talent and opponent evaluation staff to rival Bama's, then he will have my unabashed support. He has his work cut out for him. Geaux Tigers!

I just want to believe that there's no way lsu would retain O without knowing for sure they were keeping Aranda
Just my opinion though

Aranda is GONE. He is moving on to bigger and better things.

And, if he wants to coach in the NFL, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a look this year. So, he'll leave for the NFL possibly in February? Great.
What top DC will come here and coach for O?

Well, the NFL is knocking on the door, so this doesn't make me feel better.

I had a roommate after college. I haven't talked to him in 7 years.
