I had never heard of Aranda either and that's worked out pretty well

A number of weeks ago, once Coach O took over and folks started talking about OC possibilities.

Yes, but I watch Pitt every year (I don't really know why though, but I just enjoy watching them)

No. He was the OC at NC State and Pitt.

Why would I know him?

When Coaching circles start saying we now have the best two Coordinators on staff, its a good hire. I don't give a shite what a bunch of internet goobers think about him.

I didn't know Canada but that doesn't mean he's not a great OC.

A lot of people didn't know who Aranda was and look how great he turned out.

Knowledge of coordinators isn't widespread by any means.

Been on most people's radar on the Coaching Changes board since Orgeron was hired and we got stuck with the "best coordinators or die" business model.

Yes, with Chandler Harnish at NIU.

Didn't realize he had ended up at Pitt until the Clemson game though.

Yes I have. He played HS football near where I graduated HS in Indiana. (We are close to same age)

He was very a good QB!

Kind of followed his career since then..... he has been successful everywhere he has been as an OC.

My family lived in Indiana for a little while during my HS. Damn it gets cold up there!!! lol!
