re: Maybe not Aranda

Agreed, hind sight is always 20/20, but you have to put yourself back in the situation back then. Not to mention you had Alleva then and O was politicking for the job. Aranda was young and probably thought he wouldn't be considered for the job because of his lack of experience. He probably just wanted to hang on to his DC job at that time. I don't think any AD would've handed the keys to the Caddy to Aranda at that point in his career. Of course Alleva did hand the keys to Ogeron.
People were excited about Ogeron and liked his personality and roots. But if someone like Woodward had been there...the O hirer wouldn't have happened.
