Source: UNLV in Negotiations With LSU Defensive Coordinator Dave Aranda
UNLV is in "serious negotiations" with LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda for its head-coaching vacancy, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
Aranda was also a candidate for the head coach opening at Colorado State. He is now working on a potential contract with UNLV, who "is promising significant financial support for Aranda’s potential staff," per Dellenger.
Aranda is currently the highest-paid assistant in college football. He has been the Tigers' defensive coordinator since 2016. The 43-year-old coach was previously the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin from 2013-15.
