I wouldn't want Arnett for two reasons:
1. I've not been impressed w/ his defenses.
2. I question his judgment. He hired an OC who changed completely changed from the "Air Raid" offense to something else. Will Rogers went from good, to an average college QB. It reminded me of when I was living in OR and they changed HC's to one that liked the veer offense. He insisted on using the veer offense, thereby not utilizing the skills of his returning starting QB, a guy name Dan Fouts. One of all time great pocket passers ended up running the veer his senior year in college because that's what the new coach liked. A good coach finds a way to combine his strengths w/ the strengths of his players. I don't think Arnett can do that.

We interviewed him in 2021 for DC position and apparently botched the interview. I don’t know if they’ll take another look at him.
he had had success in the SEC since then andnit would be a completely different group of people interviewing him.
also The guy who nailed the interview didn’t know you could blitz till november.
In general I am interested in the 3-3-5 but don’t know a ton about it

I know he crashed and burned at moo state, but before that he was one legit defensive coordinator. Kelly spoke highly of him multiple times.
Didn't we interview and pass on him before?

I do not get the love for him. He was a decent DC at Moo St. DECENT. Even Orgeron wouldn't hire him. I'd rather keep House.

He runs a 3-3-5. We can’t stop Steven Hawking with 4 flat tires. Now you’re wanting us to answer the bell with 3 pedestrian D lineman AND a 5TH DB?! Our current 5 DB’s aren’t worth a nickel. Pun intended. Another schematic nightmare.

Why? Weren't things better on D with them?
Nobody's clamoring for Cameron back ad OC for a reason.

I’m in favor. He’s realistically the best we can get.

It would prove helpful to show his resume pre-State.
In almost every SEC game he coaches at State they're at a decided talent disadvantage.

Calling Aranda a rethread is genuinely one of the dumbest things I've ever read on here. Congrats
Hiring coaches at their former institution fits the exact definition of the word "retreat" // Not sure what school you graduated from but CONGRATS (for being so uselessly unkind)
re·tread
verb
/re'tred/
1.
go back over (a path or one's steps).
"they never retread the same ground"
2.
put a new tread on (a worn tire).
"1.3 million tires were retreaded"

I like his demeanor; seems like a football players' coach. Him sticking around immediately after Leach's passing was the right move to keep the team together.
That said, after 4 seasons, his defense continually remained vulnerable to big plays on the back end. He chose to rely too heavily on 0 cover blitzes; the few games he didn't, he did fairly well. Having the Air Raid backing him up is what kept him in games; now that the offense fell apart spectacularly with both the wholesale switch from the Air Raid (mistake) and Rogers getting hurt, he was fully exposed. Had he slowly eased the Air Raid out with the players recruited for it, he may have fared better this season (still an 8-4 ceiling though).
Perhaps he could get better personnel for a 3-3-5 at LSU along with a more capable offense, but his getting burned on big plays in the secondary wore out his welcome. Y'all don't need any more that.
My guess is he ends up as DC at a smaller school or LB's coach at a bigger program.
