We need some calm stability in a head coach right now. Aranda gives us that along with proving he can turn a program around in 2 years and beat teams like Oklahoma with much less talent. He is my top choice now.
My concern with Aranda is he doesn't have a long record of success and his laid back attitude almost puts you to sleep. I just don't know how that will translate to prospects.
I see that too. However he is showing a lot of fire on the sidelines lately. Also his calm manner and squeaky clean background may sell the parents of recruits.
Former players praise his calm demeanor and ability to communicate concepts in a way that players can understand and execute.
