-We pay him accordingly and keep the best DC in college football in BR.

-If the Coach O era is successful, great. Aranda will prob land a great HC gig somewhere else when his contract is up.

-If the Coach O era is unsuccessful, we have the best DC in college football to promote as the HC. I have to believe this was some sort of selling point for Aranda to stay.

Of course, I hope the Coach O era is a successful one, but this gives us the perfect fallback option: a smooth transition without having to uproot the advancements of the previous regime.

The next couple of years will allow Aranda to grow as a recruiter in the South while continuing the development of his monster defense. It also gives him the inside track to a premier HC position.

Could you imagine if they fired O then promoted from within again?

I love Dave Aranda, but no fuching way does that happen.

Chances are higher that he's the D Coordinator of the Detroit Lions vs HC of LSU.

He's already insinuated that he ultimately wants to be in the NFL.

Which would be the third DC mind in a row for the Tigers, meaning this board will melt.

Genius!!

It'll put a halt to all the Texas whispers, and we get to keep our guy giving us some solidity to our coaching staff

I'm gonna call it more of a survival necessity than a genius move

Contracts don't mean shite. If someone wants him to be their head coach next year for $5M a year he is gone.

I can promise you if Coach O fails, LSU will NOT promote an assistant on his staff to Head Coach. You can put that in the bank. Aranda or whoever. Won't happen.

so if a guy we promoted from within, who had horrible prior experience as a HC, gets fired, we're going to replace him with...... another guy promoted from within who has ZERO head coaching experience???

You honestly think that's a good idea???

Aranda should have gotten the job over 0 in the first place.
