re: My two negative talking points Re: Dave Aranda

---

Aranda’s lack of a body of work is not so much a negative as it is just plain unknown

I'm not arguing that.

I also plainly said that his intelligence is a rhetorical OP cheat code b/c any potential negative can get the "he's smart enough to fix it" response.

But Napier has sustained success for quite a long time in CFB years. That means something

He also has never won his conference. For all his sustained success, that also means something.

I have no doubt Napier will recruit well and sound like he's completely in control in press conferences.

The question is how much Derrick Dooley he's got in him. That's why I'm fine with him as a backup for a mid-tier SEC price. I prefer that over the Jimbo stuff b/c they're similar but one we're married to forever.

I just think if we're talking Napier v. Aranda then Aranda is clearly the better candidate. Even with your offensive concerns, Baylor is better on offense this year than Napier.

Baylor is 24th in total offense and 14th in YPP

ULL is 64th or 65th in both.
