What competitive advantages does OU have over LSU that would cause Aranda to leave?
I think there are a number of people who find Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana kinda gross. Norman is boring though.
It also just seems that the environment at LSU would be more cutthroat than OU. It seems like the fans in Baton Rouge would turn on you quicker than the would in Norman.
Bottom line is that OU is a big time program and it can pay for a big time coach. To most outsiders, this is six of one or half a dozen of the other.

I agree with those points that you made.
Baton Rouge itself could be seen as a less than desirable place to live for many (Not a shot at BR, but that's the truth) Although the vast majority of Americans aren't beating down the door to move to Norman either.
The need to win the SEC is extremely high and can be too much for coaches. I could see that argument, but do you truly want a guy that is afraid to compete with the best running your program anyways? Probably not.
Other than that I don't see any advantages that Oklahoma has as a program to be able to poach a guy that LSU truly wants to hold on to. I do think they have the clout to do that with many teams, however IMO, LSU isn't one of those squads.
