LSU D coordinator Dave Aranda -
- Thread starter RedCannon
- Start date
There's no buyout in the Aranda contract, still highly skeptical but that's a huge plus if his interest is true
I need to read it because all reports I see say his contract is "fully guaranteed" and there's no buyout. Is it fully guaranteed for the life of the contract or is it as long as he's with LSU. I can't imagine it is "fully guaranteed" regardless, but I have seen and written those into the contract.
There is absolutely no effing chance for this to happen. Who is smoking what and where can I get some?

Footballscoop report on it. Very interesting but I'm still not buying this as serious.

Love the staff part if true. Never thought he was a consideration. Hopefully not being played. Am skeptical....
Home run if this happens. Highest paid assistant in game takes pay cut to coach Unlv. I will believe it when I see it.
I have been in the former HC camp all along and still am! But now I wonder this if all of a sudden someone can assist and pony up money for him and this hire and she (the AD) listens to reason, why wasn't the same thing done for someone like Butch Jones and more importantly why not Thad Matta?

That’s what I’m having trouble wrapping my head around. Can’t see the HC/AC pool being under 4M per year.
I mean, we DO get more money than we’ve had through the stadium deal, but that’s a major bump. There’s have to be significant booster contributions. But who? Where have they been all these years? More Raider money? It’s hard to fathom. But this is the type of hire I’m talking about, a splash, one that can get you out of the hole that was so deeply dug by UNLV.
He is a much better name as a coordinator! He was DC at Wisconsin and LSU's defenses speak for themselves and he has been doing it more than one year at those schools.. interesting name no doubt.
Can she close this deal or is this Mick Cronin all over again?
I've been in the former HC camp as well but this would be a big boy hire. I thought this level of coordinator was well out of our range. This would be a commitment to UNLV football we haven't seen before.
No stadium money coming, no booster involvement. No money.
Wasn’t Aranda in discussions to become Texas A&M’s coach the last go around?
No offense to our school, but wtf am I missing here?

I'd this is true it sounds like they found some kind of booster to step up and pay big. I dont see how else this could be possible especially the report about big support for assistants.
Now if doesn’t materialize whoever gets hired it will be considered a let down.
I feel like DRF told everyone not to believe media reports for this very reason.
FWIW, I have a good friend who is a big lifelong LSU fan/alum. I asked him about Aranda.
He said, "Meh. He is a good recruiter."
Lol. Sounds a lot like Arroyo and Oregon.
To be fair. Oregon finding a top assistant to run their offense, and especially LSU finding someone to run their defense, is probably not the most difficult task. Those are two of the most premier coordinator jobs in the country especially on the respective sides of the ball. So I take some of the indifference about losing either guy with a grain of salt.

Everybody always blames the coordinators and play calling and the best player is always the backup QB...
Aranda's defenses have all been top 15 in the nation when he was defensive coordinator (Except his 2 years at Hawaii, but they did improve from year 1 to year 2). Utah St., Wisconsin, and LSU.
