re: With all of the uncertainty with the coordinators, this will affect our last spots

I think the fact Jimbo Fisher and A&M made a big play for Aranda and didn’t get him can only help with the defensive recruits we were after. It raises Aranda’s stature.

Along the same lines, I think it’s a big swing and a miss for Fisher and the Aggies. Whoever they get for dc will be a second choice at best.

I pondered the same thing. There was a downside to such offers. And that downside was accentuated by this being the 2nd LSU DC in a row. The first was considered a success at LSU, average at TAMU. It plants the seed something is up at the school, and maybe all-in on DC means misses on position coaches, which recruits should consider. Name over substance.

We have both, Aranda and Raymond. On the defensive side, CEO's name doesn't hurt. I guess our selling point is that we're not a "one name show, from top to bottom our staff has defensive coaches". I'd use it.
