1.)Both had successful interim coaching stints to audition for the job.

Offensive coordinator vs. Recruiting coordinator.

Young mind with less experience vs. Old guard with decades of experience

2.) Or Is Ryan Day's hire more similar to if Dave Aranda was promoted to head coach?

6-2, 0 points at home vs Bama, and throwing a Sugar Bowl down the drain is successful?

Both are big time programs that hired from within.

Anyone surprised OSU did not have a national search?

6-2 Is not successful enough...agreed. We always want better, but is a top 10 program successful?

Is logical when you promote an up and coming assistant in high demand for other HC jobs. IE- OU and OSU.

Makes zero sense when you promote someone with damaged goods that no other team in the country wanted as HC.

Alleva chose the wrong guy. Should've been Aranda. He fit the same mold as Riley and Day.

NO!!! A top 10 program is never successful around here. LSU must go undefeated and un scored upon every year, win the national championship and still it is a disappointment.

it's all about what your standard is. Hell, most teams would say 8-4 and being ranked in the top 25 is successful.

But we're not most teams and that's not our standard. Our standard, in my opinion, is to compete with the very top teams for championships.

LSU hasn’t sniffed any of that under the Ogre, so how would you know?

Unfortunately, Alleva's "standard" appears to be drastically different.

LSU has been in the top ten all year and they are number 11 right now. They are sniffing it right now and a win and they finish the year in the top ten. Need to improve and take the next step but people that are saying the O hire has been a disaster so far are ridiculous.

No one knows if Aranda is head coaching material.
It takes a different skill set to be an head coach. It's less about being guru on side of the ball or the other and more about organizational, management and operational skills. (Obviously coupled with a good football mind.)
Even though many laugh as O being a slick salesman, there is an element of sales to being a head coach, like being a closer in recruiting.

Ryan Day is the new Tom Herman. The same clowns that wanted Day were the ones that said Herman could walk on water.

Day is untested. AND, was it Day or Kevin Wilson who revamped the OSU offense? My vote is Wilson.

situations were different at OSU than they were here.

Urban knew he was close to done, so he groomed his replacement. i think Herman was going to be the guy, but he left before Urban was ready to hang it up.

Day:
Chip Kelly was his OC in college
worked under Meyer for a year at Florida, and a coupe years now at OSU.
Worked under Addazio at a couple stops.
Worked under Chip Kelly at a couple stops
He’s been a WR coach, a QB coach, and an OC.


compared to O.
yes he’s been in coaching a lot longer.
but if you follow his resume, he’s been a DL coach.
Ole Miss gave him a HC gig, but other than that, he’s never “climbed the ladder”. He’s always been a DL coach.

Ryan Day was the co-OC/QB coach in 2017 and the full OC in 2018

2017
-JT Barrett after two failed previous years, threw for 3050 yards and 35 TDs 9 int, and ran for 800 and 12 TDs. Completed 65% of his passes
-true freshman backup QB threw for 565 yards and 4 TDs saving the day vs the #1 pass defense and top 5 pass defense in every major passing category. Completed 70% of his passes
-True freshman RB ran for 1400 yards at 7.2 ypc

2018
-First year starter threw for 4580 yards and 47 TDs 7 int, with 122 on the ground and 4 more TDs. Completed 70% of his passes
-two RBs with a shite tastic OL, ran for a combined 1890 yards and 14 TDs.

Yes, I would take Day in a fricking heartbeat and pair him with Aranda.

Last year LSU went 9-3 with an experienced unit and the worst schedule LSU has had this century. This year with an above average schedule and new offense we went 9-3. If we lose the bowl game, it will now be 2 years in a row of 9-4 seasons. We fired a guy who was getting 9-4 seasons. I don't care if he had more of a challenge this year, nothing has actually improved in his coaching or offensively.

You people just don't know how bad this year could have gone without Aranda. I'm talking losses to Auburn, Arkansas, and Miss St.

Texas had 3 straight losing seasons before Tom Herman. First year he has a winning season. Second year he goes to the conference championship. Next year they are the team to beat in the Big 12 and anybody that pays attention would tell you that.
