1) Took over an 11-3 program, where the coach was poached, not fired, and went 2-7 in Y1, by a combined score of 131-218.

My thoughts; yes, the Covid year was tough on first time head coaches taking over programs,, but you compare say what Aranda did, to Lane Kiffin(who took over for a fired coach, in a much tougher conference), and you must ask how much further hiring an offensive minded coach goes. More of that in point 2.

Still not sure anyone should take anything from 2020 seriously. I understand everybody had to deal with it, but everybody was also impacted differently at times. It was just a weird season. I say this for any coach who did bad or good.

I agree with your 2nd point. I rather LSU have a QB guru HC and not have to worry about replacing offenses. I like to see LSU always have good QB play and attract the best QBs.
