Is listening to Aranda something we should be doing?

I do not know if this was already posted and if it has, my apologies. I am not knocking the DC hire at all. I mean I am sure that anything is better than what we had and we can only go up from here. I say we need to give this guy a chance. However, I find it odd that we are getting advice from a HC of another Power 5 conference school. I mean we can assume that Aranda loved LSU and wants to give O some advice but in a business mind set, why give another head coach advice on a hire? We are all trying to claim the same trophy at the end of every season so why give a competitor advice on a hire? Anyone have a logical reason?

Especially after Orgeron said during fall camp under Pelini the defense was already better than under Aranda. We all know how last years defense really was

Not exactly some random P5 coach

I'll take what Aranda says over whatever got us Pelini.

Why didn't Aranda bring him to Baylor with him?

guys with sauces on the 247 board said Aranda and O are very much good friends despite the fluff piece on Pelini last fall. Plus lsu made him rich af and his family loves LSU so I don’t see the big deal. This is a bit of a reach

We aren’t on track to play them and we don’t recruit head to head with them. I’m sure Dave knows he has a bit of a rebuild on his hands there, especially after last season. I don’t see why it would be a problem.

If O were talking to Kiffin about hires, that would be different.

Holy crap...they are good friends .... you don't think Aranda wouldn't seek some guidance from O.

Coaches that have worked together talk all the time & trade advice back and forth. It's not that big of a deal. Hell, O even talks to Kiffin every week except when we play them.

I'm sure Aranda wants success for guys that coached with him. If Jones does well here, Aranda will be happy for him, even if we do happen to meet up in the playoff or a bowl.

Maybe Aranda is hoping to return to LSU at some point in the future and doesn’t want to burn any bridges. Quote the contrary, he figures helping LSU build the bridge even higher can only help his chances if that possibility ever comes to fruition.

These coaches help each other all the time. You are always hearing about innovative coaches doing seminars with other staffs in the summers. Despite competing in recruiting and on the field, there is a professionalism that these guys all want to advance the sport overall.
