Aranda, Campell, & DeBoer - What is your order of preference?

DeBoer’s a really good for a tier 2 type guy, might even have the highest ceiling of the 3

I thought Aranda to LSU was basically a done deal at this point?

Campbell is my first choice right now. His profile reminds me of CP but he's a lot younger than CP was when he came here so I think he could potentially stay 10+ years if he comes. Aranda is a longshot at best given USC and LSU are both interested in him. DeBoer is a great plan B but does carry some risk since he's only been a FBS head coach for 2 years and has never recruited at the P5 level.

We aren't getting Aranda or Campbell with the SC and LSU jobs open but either one would be a slam dunk. DeBoer is a great hire as well but I worry about his recruiting ability to an extent

The USC 247 board seems to think Campbell is coming but I don't think see him as a good fit for LA. I don't think he's a SEC guy either. My guess is he either takes the UW job or holds out for a top tier Big 10 job.

Slightly off topic but is Harbaugh's job in jeopardy after he gets plungered by Ohio State again? Campbell would absolutely take the Michigan job.

Lol no. Some may push for it out of frustration, but it’s as likely to happen as it was for UW to fire Petersen

I change my vote to Campbell, Aranda, Deboer.

Campbell is the only one with any kind of a track record. The others are hopeful shot in the darks to have any consistency.

In that case, if Campbell leaves ISU he'll likely be heading out west.

You can't really argue with any of them. Aranda has spent 13 seasons as a coach in California (7), Hawaii (4), and Utah (2) and is probably a little ahead of DeBoer in terms of upside. My concern is that his defense was slipping at LSU, at least in terms of statistics but it could be also due to their emphasis on a high powered, aerial passing offense rather than a slower paced to protect the D.

2010 Hawaii 82nd 100th 57th [29]
2011 Hawaii 73rd 92nd 53rd [29]
2012 Utah State 15th 39th 15th [29]
2013 Wisconsin 9th 25th 5th [30]
2014 Wisconsin 9th 9th 24th [31]
2015 Wisconsin 2nd 5th 4th [32]
2016 LSU 5th 14th 10th [33]
2017 LSU 12th 21st 24th [34]
2018 LSU 30th 44th 38th [35]
2019 LSU 32nd 57th 24th

Campbell is the lowest risk out of all of them and with the longest track record. He doesn't have any West Coast ties but he is a good recruiter. Seems like the kind of coach who takes a little while to get going (a rich man's Dave Clawson?) and that may not fit the timeline because the opening would be great if USC can't get it together, Cristobal leaves Oregon, and UCLA fires Chip Kelly this season or next season.

I have put quill to papyrus in the candlelight for DeBoer, crumpling most of it up but sending a few to him with a hint of my cologne. Love the upside and really like his coaching staff but he has the least overall experience. He does, however, have a relationship with Tedford and has 5 years of experience recruiting at the West Coast (3 as an OC / QB coach and 2 as a HC). Offense is the immediate concern of this Huskies team and where more of the transfers could happen so he makes sense there while his DC (William Inge) looks to have taken the next step in 2021.

Due to a lack of P5 experience, he is the riskiest but the dude wins pretty big. He'll probably win next week at SJSU (Haener has been banged up so a little extra time off will have helped him before the game as well as time off before the bowl). He's also the cheapest so he could poach staff from other Pac-12 schools with bigger offers (doubling a few key salaries). I'm sure DeBoer would accept a $4.0 million / $4.5 million dollar a year deal with some nice incentives because he'd renegotiate anyway after two years if he's reloaded the offense and gotten the most out of the D talent (particularly the DL).

Hence, Campbell is James 2.0!

The resemblance is uncanny! Hiring people from Massillon as they turn 42 is the secret sauce. We need to get posters stationed outside of Massillon collecting names and contact info stat!

I think you're onto something here.

I want it to happen just so it can be brought up on every broadcast regurgitated to a new level.

We're getting Wilcox, aren't we?
