Does anyone have a sense of his recruiting? I can't say I ever recall him mentioned as a top notch recruiter.

He's paid $2.5 million a year as a DC, I'm sure we can still hire him, but probably requires a higher salary than the average coordinator guy.

It'd take what HCMM was making to get him here-I'd rather have Lake.
 
For the record, there's probably no one who makes more sense than Aranda if we're targeting a P5 coordinator. He's the top guy and he has ties to our conference footprint plus Texas, Louisiana and Hawaii. There are "hotter" names out there, but there aren't better names and he's been very qualified for a HC job in the P5 for at least 4 years.
 
Didn't Aranda's Defense just give up 74 points in one game? Pass!

You do realize that game was the longest in college football history?

They don’t know he’s on our radar, but LSU fans are real scared they’re going to lose him and many would rather let Coach O go and hand the reigns to him. Granted, not the most reasonable fans in college football.

Not sure if UBL or not .
