Aranda was still here in 2019. We had talent + one of the best defensive coaches in the country, it just took a while to come together.
Maybe it’s my bias over what recently happened with LSU but “talent overcoming coaching” was the thought process when we went from Aranda to Pelini and everyone saw how that worked out. We went from being ranked 40th overall and a lockdown defense through the last 5 games, to 128th in scoring and one of the worst defenses in CFB history even with Stingley and Ricks at CB and a lot of talent elsewhere.
I think the offenses right now are so technically advanced that there’s no amount of talent that can overcome mediocre coaching and game planning. We’ll see but that’s my take and I don’t see Durkin coming into the SEC and suddenly fielding a top 25 defense when he’s never done it before

I don't understand the 2019 Aranda comment. Aranda is/was an incredible coach. He should be the HC not pedo kelly right now.
But after striking out on Jimbo and others woody had to go get a "big" name to save face.

Durkin was at Ole Miss and Maryland. I don’t think ATM is similar talent wise.
Durkin was DC at Florida in 2013 and 2014. Michigan DC in 2015.
2013: 15th in scoring defense
2014: 30th in scoring defense
2015: 6th in scoring defense
