Aranda …….

[Hookedonit]

Has a senior laden team of Matt Rhules players, lost to unranked TCU, a missed field goal from tying Texas Tech, 6 inches short of losing to OSU after a coaching blunder to not punt from his own 36. Texas dropped two sure td passes against them . I’m not sold he is this wizard but his boys do play sound defense. Let’s see how next year plays out without all those seniors !

Disagree with the coaching blunder. I think the blunder was the QB throwing the ball out of bounds.

Love the aggressiveness. Was "Roll Left" a coaching blunder???

He took over a program that was damn near put on the death penalty and won the Big 12 in year 2. He may not be a wizard, but anything short of praise for Aranda is a serious reach.

The guy went 2-7 last year and won the Big 12 this year. You can talk about all the close calls, remember the Kansas game (I remember the OSU game) but the guy won. Him and Fickell have to be hottest coaches who have not moved yet.

So what? A lousy coach would've taken that talent downhill Arranda didn't. Oh and I hadn't heard of this kid from LA who replaced Bohannon when he got hurt. So he's obviously turning over every stone and finding kids who can play.

And he's the first coach who's figured out how to stop a Lincoln Riley offense. From Mayfield to Williams every OK qb has had exceptional running ability. Arranda put a spy on Williams who was responsible for keeping Williams and Rattler from scrambling for big plays and it worked out fantastic for them. They did the same against Bijan. For me that shows me he's going to be a good coach.
