re: Dave Aranda is the 2nd best coach in the SEC, head coaches included

Aranda is a better coach than Saban if you give them the same talent.

The President and AD are fully aware of that, barring some unforeseen event he isnt leaving LSU.

I'd say Aranda's career path versus Saban's is eerily similar. Who was the better DC in their mid-late 30's? I'm not sure if Aranda is the motivator Saban is but I think his intelligence is above Saban's. We'd be foolish to ever let Aranda go elsewhere. We need to do to whatever it takes to keep him around for the long term.

agree 100 percent.

saban is great yet still overrated as frick. he'd win anywhere but the ONLY reason he wins as much as he does now is because the REC buys him all the best players.

8 straight number 1 recruiting classes is more than Pete Carrol, Urban Meyer, and Miles ever had combined. there were times last year when all 11 spots on defense were made up of high school 5 stars, and most of them were upperclassman.

anyone can get complacent and someone can always sneak up on you if youre distracted, but saban should win every big game by 40, the pure talent alone dictates that.

yet he doesnt.
