Has anyone checked the wording in his contract?

Look I’m pretty impartial re: Ed O but you have to laugh at the optics of Coach O publicly proclaiming Pellini’s D would be an upgrade from Aranda, watching LSU’s D implode under Pellini, and Ed O turning around to hire a protege of Aranda.

Not a great look. Optics aside, hope he’s a hell of a good coach.

Not exactly the most exciting hire, but anyone would be better than Bo.

And I don't consider being under Aranda's coaching tree as a very solid qualifier. To me, he was more name and reputation than success at LSU.

But, if you know Aranda and Joe Brady, YOU'RE HIRED!

The fact that everyone is so upset about this hire is the thing that makes me think it will probably work out really well

Is this real or another case of O jumping the gun and announcing before even seeing if this guys contract allows him to leave?

Smart guy, worked under great defensive coaches, Louisiana ties, called a good defense in D2.

It’s risky but he could be great. Let’s give him our support.

It was either take a chance on someone or hire a retread. I’d rather take a chance and hope for the best.
