Luke Fickell or Dave Aranda?

Honestly, I would take Dave Aranda. We know he can flat out coach defense, and he’s already very familiar with the LSU football program and the culture of the area. He was already the associate head coach at LSU and basically held Coach O’s hand for 3 years. I think he would be a great fit and would turn the Tiger football program around quickly.

At this point either is better than the current crop of coaches. I’d take Fickell only because he has been a HC for longer and has played in bigger games then Dave. I’d make him tell me no multiple times.

I would go Luke first out of those two.

I think either would be an upgrade however Dave doesn’t have enough HC experience. He does have the #2 offense and #3 defense in the Big 12 so far this year. Dave will do well.

I like Aranda as a coach, but the knock on him is that he’s not the best recruiter.
Fickell is a mid west guy and if he would come down here, I think the first high profile job that came up in the big 10 would be his to turn down.

Fickell is elite man. The way he has built the offense with Ridder the last 2 years is really impressive. Used to think he was just another good big 10 type coach, but everything about the way Cincy plays impresses me.
But I have no qualms about Aranda either. You can tell he does not have much talent to work with but the team is very well disciplined and well coached.

This board needs to slow down on Aranda. Say he had been the DC at Bama rather than LSU, there’s not a single person on this board who would be advocating for him.
The complaints about the coordinator hires, learning on the job, etc, would be true of Aranda here as the HC. Woodward will aim much higher.

Aranda is actually more of a sure thing in my mind, though maybe someone smarter can show me why that's wrong. He's proven himself defensively in spades. Just has to get a good offensive coordinator.
Fickell could be the next great, or he could be another guy that doesn't end up translating from G5 to P5.

Fickel came from a big time program at osu. He has done well at cincy and probably a better recruiter. Fickel is the man.

Maybe I'm biased but I'd take Aranda as well. LSU could be a career landing spot for him. I don't know that he would leave for another job unless he has NFL aspirations.

Fickell. I'm a huge Aranda guy but we need someone with a clean slate. As soon as we lose a game people would be on this 3rd and Aranda BS again.
But I'd want Lane or Cristobal above either of them.

File ll has the best resume of all potential candidates. My personal preference is Kiffin.

Either would be a huge upgrade over what we currently have

Luke over Aranda and I love Aranda.

Out of the two I would take Luke. That being said, if it's my checkbook I'm buying that baw next door at Little Brother Oh La La.
