LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is the latest coordinator to cash in on historically high coaching salaries.
Texas A&M, who just shelled out a guaranteed $75 million to a coach coming off a six-loss season at Florida State, apparently brought out their oil money in attempt to lure Aranda to College Station.
LSU rallied the Brinks trucks, however.
Hearing Aranda will make $2.5 million per year for four years, all guaranteed, to remain in Baton Rouge

LSU finished with the No. 18 defense in S&P+ in 2017 with Aranda making $1.8 million.
For comparison, Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, architect of the No. 8 defense in the country, made $700,000 last year.
