I was going to agree with post in general, until I read this...

Aranda has historically been phenomenal, and arguably better that Pruitt.

The only metric I looked at was total defense - there might be something better, I just didn't have the time so don't think I was cherry picking ...

Below is are team's total defense rankings..

Wisconsin

2012 (pre Aranda) - 29
2013 - 9
2014 - 9
2015 - 2

LSU
2015 pre Aranda - 10
2016 - 13

Florida State
2012 (pre Pruitt) - 3
2013 - 7

Georgia
2013 (pre Pruitt) - 52
2014 - 16
2015 - 5

Alabama
2015 pre Pruitt - 3
2016 - 12
