I think Fickell is USC bound. A number of prospects will play us for better contracts where they’re at . If we’re introducing a new coach in the administration building in December it’s going to be Aranda. That will be seen as most expedient . Was here for glory years but ..... can you go home again ?? Thomas Wolfe says no.
I have no clue but if you’re looking to put out a firestorm in December you prob going to seek out a favorite son who has ties to ‘19 magic dust. Fans would go for it but I don’t think he’s ready for this stage . The problem — who is thats willing to take the job? Outside the bayou this is going to appear as ‘Holy Shit - two years after 15-0 they gutted the fish ‘ to all whom might be interested .
I think you'd be surprised at who all will be interested. Most coaches know O is terrible and they saw him win coach of the year and field maybe the best team ever by accident because our state is so loaded with talent and a key hire here or there and boom.. magic. After Les we had the stigma of not producing qbs and this was a black hole for passing offenses and we get owned by Bama 7 years in a row etc.. This time we're 3 straight coaches have won national titles. So if you're a great coach you're gonna have an ego and you will look at this job as your way to secure a legacy. Cause if O can do it, you can do it twice. Saban is also much closer to retirement now also.
