Not if he was winning here.
But I do agree - it's sleepy time talking style - but if a great coach that wins here happens to be boring, we should not scoff at it.

I think you’ll find a lot of what he says has substance to it, though. Not a lot of coach speak. And he actually will talk Xs and Os. My guess, our media would actually start educating themselves on what the hell it is he’s talking about and they’ll write more fulfilling articles because of it.

Man, idk. I'd have Aranda a tier below these guys:
Gundy
Deboer
Rhule
Liepold
Aranda has been successful with taking over a successful team built by Rhule but hasn't had to build, so I think his floor is pretty low here. I'd still rather have him than guys like Klieman, Doeren, and Chadwell though.

You'd rather have Leipold than Aranda?
No way for me.
Urban is my clear cut #1.
After that it gets murkier. Deboer is a coach that is moving up my wish list. Gundy? I think he'd be good, but might have a limited ceiling. But let's be realistic - we are at or below zero (call it the frost zone per se) - so a guy who can turn the program around and win us 8 to 10 games a year would be a godsend. Even if his ceiling is not CFB playoffs. Crawl before we walk, walk before we sprint.
Rhule built Baylor back up. He's done poorly in the NFL and could be shitcanned there at any time, but the NFL is a different animal to CFB. But as a college coach, I think that he is better suited to that game. I'd be good with 3 of those 4 you mentioned, with my list being:
Deboer
Rhule
Gundy
Leipold is down the list for me personally. Campbell is not real high on my list either. Good coaches, but not what I think we should be shooting for.

He sounds like an NPR radio host LOL!
I literally had to turn the volume up on my computer to hear him. I'd love to hear what his actual motivational speech sounds like. He must turn it on at crunch time. That is something. I'm dead serious, I don't think I've ever heard an elite FB coach sound that soft spoken.
***IN BEFORE someone says "Belichik." Belichik talks like that as an F-U to the media. That's not the same thing. Aranda literally sounds like he's whispering. It's amazing.

I agree with this.
It'd be great. We could get the focus back on THE ACTUAL GAMES.... as opposed to our stupid dramas that we've had these last 10 years.
It would be awesome to have a head coach that boring. A good head coach that is.

Substance (as someone mentioned before) is exactly what we need after 5 years of Frost bluster, bullshit and empty promises.
Remember he said he would rebuild the OL?
The Big 10 would have to adjust to us.
Luke McCaffrey was the future around here.
Almost everything Scott talked about was made up nonsense or recycled coach speak he heard somewhere else.
"Everyone knows where this thing is going"
Yeah, bud. Right in the dumpster.

Urban is my #1 but I didn't include him because I don't feel that he's a realistic possibility.
I need to see Liepold sustain the early success this year for him to stay in the top realistic tier for me. The signs were there in year 1 at KU when he beat a much more talented Texas team. If KU falls off a cliff over the course of the season then I'd move Liepold down and probably move aranda and/or BoB up.

If he wins, 'boring and softspoken" suddenly becomes "Osbornesque." That's how I see his personality anyway. And honestly, maybe that's the exact kind of personality we need from our coach to help lead the players through the celebrity fishbowl of NU football. Aranda isn't gonna get paranoid, he isn't gonna get distracted, he isn't gonna give soundbytes off the top of his head that turn into dumbass news stories.
As long as he has charisma behind the scenes that connects with recruits and players, (which Aranda apparently does) I'm down with a guy who has a quiet demeanor.

"I think the ability to not be waiting for remarkable stuff to happen, but to do the unremarkable with remarkable consistency, is really what the key is. So the boring, mundane, specific, detail-oriented things, you really have to master. So it takes awhile to see those. If you're moving too fast and looking for big things, you miss all the little things."
I literally just clicked to a random spot in the middle of the video and this monotone quote could've come straight from Osborne boring the media to death at any point in his career hahah. Doesn't bother me at all.

It would be amazing to have a HC give its fan base ASMR in post game conferences!

I can't believe I forgot Kiffin. Massive fail, he's easily in the top tier.
