He is a very good choice.

Dave Aranda is a great candidate for Nebraska’s next head football coach.

Aranda has a lot of experience, including his stint as Wisconsin when he built one of the nation’s best defenses. He has won a national title at LSU in 2019 as a defensive coordinator. He lead Baylor to their best season in school history in 2021, when they went 12-2, won the Big 12 Championship, and then beat Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl.

Does he have any downside?

Yes.

Am I nitpicking?

Perhaps also yes.

There are some interesting comments Aranda made about when he was at LSU. He felt like a machine, he said, and withdrew from people. He stopped talking to the media.

Given that LSU is the only fishbowl he’s really ever coached, how would he fare at Nebraska?
