A&M making second run at LSU DC Aranda

[Deep Creek]

Now that's funny right there...and a burn!

The last LSU d-coordinator didn't seem to help aggie play better defense.

Guess you don't watch A&M football. he got them playing MUCH better defense. Still not top 10 defense but they did get better.

 

[Justin Tyme]

I can hear UCLA laughing from here.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Local radio is stating A&M is offering to pay his buyout ($1.5mil) and pony up $3mil a year. If he leaves LSU is in a world of sh!t and this game will be come a true rivalry.

For real? That's insane. aTm is going to kill their own program by setting the expectations so high they can't be reached.

They need to win the conference within the first 3 years

 

[Wild Turkey]

The Aggies think they can buy a national championship and are going all in. They are literally employing the dump truck theory.

The thing that scares me is this is the kind of shit that sank the SWC. Shit is out of control including Auburn overpaying Gus.

 

[Wild Turkey]

There isn't that much difference at DC between Kirby Smart, Chavis, Steele, Muschamp, Aranda and Steele. All are very accomplished and it just comes down to talent.

Is aTm going to start buying talent next?

Fucking insane. It's hard to shock me but 3mm for Aranda? WTF!

 

[Wild Turkey]

A&M has no respect for LSU

That game just went nuclear if this move happens.

Somebody is behind, shit ain't happening. LSU went full retard to keep him. 2.5 million for a coordinator is ridiculous. I still remember when Chad Morris broke 1 million and I thought things were getting out of control. That wasn't even that long ago.

WOW?!?!?!

 

[theboardref]

WOW?!?!?!

Said this from the freaking beginning, should have promoted the damn guy to HC. The writing is on the wall for him to be the second on staff employee to take over an HC job. If you are already going with unproven guys, why go with the guy that failed miserably at his last Hc stint? Ohh I know why, Joe Alleva may be the single worst athletic director in the nation.

Steve Peterson (hired Bill Clownahan) and Shawn Eichorst (hired Mike “nice guy” Riley) say hi

This is becoming distasteful. 75 million guaranteed to a coach coming off a 5-6 season and not talking 2+ million for a DC per year on top of a buyout. If you thought Fisher was worth 75 million why would you need to pay way over the going rate for a DC?

 

[Codaxx]

That's insane. LSU has been playing good defense for the better part of a decade. They may want to save a couple dollars to hire a OC

This past year they did up the kitty on Canada $1.5 and now showing him the door.

aTm, is the rich kid nobody likes but his dad owns the factory, the bank, the town. So everyone has to be nice.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

So who do the ags target now? And are they going to try to run a pro style offense in Texas? Charlie Strong tried that, found out quick the kids here are too accustomed to the spread.

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron announced Wednesday night on Twitter that defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has agreed to remain with the Tigers. Aranda is receiving a new four-year contract that will pay him $2.5 million annually, a source told ESPN. The entire $10 million deal is guaranteed.

JMO, I would have sent him packing, don't get me wrong he is very good at his job but the amount being paid is getting out of hand.

Has to be more to it than is being said. I along with many others think the writing is on the wall for Orgeron (his $3.5 mil a year isn't guaranteed). Aranda will be the next LSU HC.

Did you guys not learn a lesson with that guaranteed stuff and your OC?

You just paid your OC $5 million to coach for 1 year basically because of it did you not?
