Aranda needs to go after we lose to Houston. No reason to keep him. He provides nothing positive and only detracts from the process.

No I'm saying that in this critical moment for the football program we somehow find ourselves without an AD. Which is the main reason why we can't fire Dave.

If I'm a top recruit, I'm seriously reevaluating my decision. Why would I want to play for a program that doesn't develop their players and isn't committed to winning? I'm sure they can go elsewhere and get just as good if not better NIL money.

Announcer praising Arizona for their adjustments.

No, that's just Baylor doing Baylor.

Trust me, this team will spare us having to watch them get embarrassed in a bowl game. They have already quit and Houston will be the last time we will have to watch this team. Not sure I can watch anymore.

Brent Brennan and Co. coached circles around our staff in that second half.

Both Aranda and Spavital got clowned.

Why would a top recruit go where there is no player development and they know, without question, the coach will be fired next year? Fire Dave now.

The guys didn't really execute what we showed them.

We ran the same defense all day.

We're gutted

Too late...our amazing leadership has already said they want more of this next year.

What reputable AD is going to want to sign on to this sinking ship??

Second time we hired an LSU DC as our Head Coach.

Aranda marginally better than Beal because he won with Rhule's players

I disagree. This creates an opportunity to be the captain that rights the ship. There will be a good AD out there that will see that.

Exactly. The 5-6 record does not begin to show how truly horrible this team and coaching staff is.

In her defense, we don't.

We're now accepting sub-mediocrity.

This team hasn't been mediocre since the first bye week. We just flat out suck now.

Back to back weeks: 55-28, 41-17

It feels like the early 2000s when I was in junior high.

Dave has to know he looks like a giant clown at this point.
Maybe he throws BU a bone and steps down after next weeks ass kicking

Idk...if you are walking into a situation where the President has said Aranda is good enough...are you going to feel confident you can create a winner in that environment?

This… whoever is hired as AD should be able to fire Dave. In no way should Linda force the new AD to keep Dave

I know Yoda was hired primarily because he headed up LSU defense in their NC year. I'm of the opinion one of our own posters here could've headed up that years' LSU defense. The quality of players would overshadow the the inept coach.

I believe the new AD will can Aranda. I believe LL's move to keep CDA was about letting the new AD, when hired, to call the shots. Just my $.02.

If Linda et al are telling me (the interviewing AD) that I have to keep Dave, I walk out of the interview.

This is shaping up exactly like the end of the Guy Morriss era.

A horrible, depressing finish into a lame duck season with a coach everyone knows will be fired.

What could possibly go wrong?
