re: Aranda was given 2.5 million to hold the team together and keep it from falling apart

The actual talking point to justify the salary was if Aranda leaves the team under Coach O would fall apart.

Now he’s taking that 2.5 million, putting a poor product on the field, making LSU drop in the polls, and giving LSU a harder road to the national championship.

LSU could find someone for 500k to produce that result.

Aranda will not be fired, but I would like to see someone come take Aranda (Texas and his good friend, Tom Herman, maybe?). When I say this, I get asked "Who would replace him?", as if Aranda is a unicorn who invented nuclear energy. And my answer is that for $1.5 million, you could get plenty of quality coordinators who would probably produce better results.
