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

I'm replying to 3 people so adjust accordingly.

I don't believe for a second that he doesn't have higher aspirations.

Why? Lots people love their job and can view a higher position as a step away from what they love to do.
I don't want to be a manager. I don't like managing. and as long as I'm paid as well, I won't do it.
If my experience isn't suitable for an argument... maybe the fact that Saban left the NFL for the NCAA.
As long as the money is right.. I think he'll stay (although it will continue to keep me up nights).

If the president and AD had any sense they would've offered the HC job to him before O.

O had the relationship with the majority of high value target recruits.

Are you suggesting O would have quit if someone on staff was given the job instead? I don't disagree. And that seems logical.. but he didn't exactly have competing offers so he very well could have been without a job. I'd be willing to bet that LSU would have made him a very highly paid DL coach if that had all transpired.. Much more than he would have received for a similar position at another school. so it's not so cut and dry.

Why wasnt he hired as HC if they think so highly of him?

Boom !!!

Is this a sarcastic boom or are you saying that the administration actually had several candidates and they hired the one they thought most highly of? Who were the other candidates?!?! I need to know!
