What the hell does stuff like this mean? What is less? Who is this magic coach you want?


Aranda is my preference, I would consider him a top tier coach. I’d be willing to ban bet anyone, I guarantee he would be a success at LSU. He has all the attention to detail that you want in a head coach, absolutely never gets distracted. Aranda leads by example, not by his mouth.

But this hire is all on Woodward, I have high confidence in him, that he will make a great hire for LSU. Like Aranda, he’s smart and knows what kind of coaching it takes to be successful.

If Aranda is a tier 1 coach, who would you consider a tier 2 coach? I think most would put Aranda as a tier 2 guy given his lack of experience as a HC, but given you think he's tier 1 I'm curious who falls below that line

Napier would be a tier 2 coach. Tucker is another.

Aranda was in the fire at LSU and Wisconsin. Doesn’t get any hotter or more competitive than those two conferences.

You may be right. Aranda is one I’m sure about being at tier 1 level.

Yes - a supposed Top 5 coaching opportunity yet it appears possibly headed for a Tier 2 coaching hire.


How many ACTUAL elite coaching options are out there? I’d say extremely few.

Jury’s still out on Aranda as a hc, although it’s not my money it would be nice see our AD negotiate contracts linked to performance rather than treat every new hire like we’ve rehired Saban.

How is Aranda a tier 1 and Napier a tier 2? I can assure you that right now Napier is a more sought out HC for top level coaching jobs than Aranda is, and before you say it no Baylor is not a top level coaching job. He's been courted for a couple of years now by several big-time programs. He's simply turned them all down waiting for the right job. People really need to get off of the fact he's at ULL. Almost every elite coach started somewhere like that.

You may consider him top tier but others will not, by the same token someone you may not consider top tier someone else will so its a matter of preference. Calling anyone you don't want settling is silly.

Aranda’s Baylor team plays at Texas and Sarkisian this Saturday. I’d like to see Aranda nail Bama’s former OC. Texas is improving but so is Baylor.

This is a good example of what i mean. Tucker's resume is very similar to Aranda. DA has more years as a college DC where Tucker spent 10 years in the NFL. Familiarity with Aranda is a big reason you think he's top tier (and he may be) but again that's preference aka opinion.

i knew who he was when he was at UGA and left for Colorado, his name came up a lot as a coordinator ready to move up.

probably not, but do you think a 2nd year HC at Baylor would be mentioned if he had been DC at say Florida after Wisconsin instead LSU?

Because of the huge amount of money being thrown out there now for college coaches, there are more quality college coaches coaching now than probably at any time in our history.

Damn. No criticism for him being a quitter who opted out on his team, thus also ruining his draft status and skills? They must have missed the memo.

Needlessly throwing money at them isn’t necessarily related to quality. See CEO.

Wasn’t pointing to CEO as an example but I agree. What I’m referring to is this. The huge amount of money now all over in college football is causing more quality people whether it’s former players or high school coaches to get into college coaching as assistants then head coaches.

Nobody would even be mentioning Aranda under that scenario unless FL had been the LSU of 2019.
