Love the guy as a coordinator but does he strike anyone else as kind of a weird dude?

All good coaches are weird dudes. It's the nature of the profession.

He's actually VERY VERY quiet and introverted. Intense in his craft and not wordy......

I suppose weird.

He strikes me a a "savant" type. Doesn't want to be real social, just wants to show up and do his job to the best of his ability.

Not bashing but have you ever heard him speak publicly? I had a chance to attend a benefit dinner that he was the guest speaker of right after he was hired as DC. Dude spent the entire time talking about his life, where he came from, and his thought process. Extremely intelligent and came off very personable. He also came and introduced himself to all the high school coaches that were in attendance.

Not weird but definitely not outgoing. Which is why I believe if he leaves it will be for a NFL job. Do not have to recruit and sell the program as much.

My wife was one of his English tutors at CLU in 1998. According to her, he's soft spoken, and was very into psychology at the time. He was reading a book about the profile of serial killers and their mentality. She said he was a nice guy.

And before the innuendos start (I know, you can't divulge something like this on the Rant and not expect to be harassed), he's been with his girlfriend since high school.

Anyway, I'm sure it bothers my wife that so many coaches are coming out of Cal Lutheran from the same time she could have majored in MRS in the late 90's, but she only had nice things to say about Aranda. She didn't know Tom Herman, but she knew his wife, Michelle Tatarakis and said she was nice as well.

this is why i was against him being head coach - maybe he'll get there but so far he seems to have the personality of a dish rag. not a dynamic head coach personality type.

and no head coaches aren't all weird guys. the lengths people will go to to prop Aranda up as the next Saban are amazing. He might get there but he ain't there yet. We might have him for several more years

I don't know about weird but he looks EXACTLY like Robbie Lawler and that in it's own is pretty damn intimidating.
