He’s got freaking Baylor playing 3 centers on the Oline and last two games they have committed one penalty. Could you image if LSU was that well coached how unstoppable we would be?

Just because football is such a offensive game. But heck Dave is prob the best Defensive coach in the country.

Def not the guy you want trying to win recruiting battles. That’s why I think we can find someone who I would prefer.

Because Napier's team was a much better Coach team today

Because he is still playing with Rhules recruits and his recruiting skills are weak

In my eyes, Aranda has been to a championship as assistant HC. He’s more qualified. No doubt Riley is an amazing OC, but if he still only had Rattler, OU would be fricked.

Jesus Christ why does this narrative even exist? He recruited several of our best players while at LSU and had a top 15 class this year at Baylor.

Teams generally look well-coached when they play a Sunbelt team with a 2-6 record.

Aranda may not be a superstar, but he isn't weak at recruiting. I suspect we're going to see any weakness is offset by better evaluation of talent and better development. As for playing with Rhule's players, here are some 247 rankings:

2016: ranked 40th (1 4-star, 0 5-stars)
2017: ranked 40th (0 4-stars, 0 5-stars)
2018: ranked 29th (6 4-stars, 0 5 stars)
2019: ranked 35th (2 4-stars, 0 5 stars)

So yeah... Rhule left the cupboard stocked with loads of 3 star talent. If he can compete with 3-stars at Baylor, he's going to be a rock star with the 4 and 5 stars he can get at LSU.

One of the worst takes I’ve ever seen.

Doesn't this make the case for Riley?

He stacks elite QBs.. So if one misses he has another ready.

How is that a knock? Penn St loses their QB and they look worse than Les Miles.

I would prefer a coach I know, no matter what, will always have elite QB play.

Maybe he is? Nobody on here knows Scott’s list. Hell, Aranda could be his #1. Everyone just took Riley and ran with it because a few “insiders” said it

At what point do we recognize that LSU is a brand that will recruit itself as long as we have a head coach who players respect and believe can improve them? I’m not saying I want a shitty recruiter, but people respect Aranda because he can go into any kids house and break down exactly how they will be used and what they can become under his teaching.

I know Oklahoma fans, they say
1. No OK coach would ever leave OK for the LSU job.

2. They are begging for anyone to take Riley away.

Initially, I wanted Riley over Dave, but the more I watch Baylor and the way his team plays he's who I'm really hoping for. I think he would be the perfect fit and he's already familiar with the program.

Ask Devin White what he thinks about Aranda.
