LSU football is pursuing the return of former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda in an analyst role. Aranda, who was instrumental in LSU's 2019 national championship, is currently in Baton Rouge. He was recently dismissed from his position as head coach at Baylor after a disappointing season. Adding Aranda could provide continuity and options for the coaching staff, particularly as current defensive coordinator Blake Baker may attract head-coaching opportunities. The team is actively working on finalizing Aranda's return.
