How can I answer that question without knowing who the choices are? Give me a list to choose from and I'll tell you who I'd choose over him and who I would not choose over him.


Here’s the problem, you aren’t the first person to address those of us who would be open to Dave Aranda as head coach, yet nobody has said who they would prefer. I can understand being cautious about hiring a coach who hasn’t been a head coach before, but O was hired simply because he had head coaching experience, even though it was an extremely terrible experience. Your skepticism could apply to anyone, not just Aranda, so therefor any answer you could have given me would make you a hypocrite. Hence why you couldn’t answer.

Aranda has experience at LSU, experience recruiting the south now, experience in Louisiana, and he is a damn good defensive mind who seems to be very well organized and smart. I say roll with it. I mean, if we can hire an idiot shrimp boat captain who was a proven failure, the worst coach in Ole Miss history, we can take a chance on one of the top minds in the country.

I can't answer your question because I don't know who the choices are. But if you want a name, as a hypothetical, let's say that Jack Del Rio is still available next year and O gets fired. I would take Del Rio over Aranda. Del Rio is a proven head coach with some minor ties to LSU.

And you misread my OP. I'm also open to Aranda as the HC if Special Ed gets fired. I'm simply pointing out that the skill set for HC is different from the skill set for DC or OC.
