I'm not embarrassed to admit that I was not an Aranda fan and was elated to see him move on. However, after the past 12 months, I'm here to admit I was wrong and would even kick in a few bucks for a "Go Fund Me" account to bring him back! Yes, things have gotten that bad!

Aranda drove me crazy with his bend but don't break defense, but I would take that approach anytime to our current two-hand touch scheme we are currently running. It's plain torture to watch our defense because you know the big play is coming and it always does.

After 2019, I understood we would see a drop off on defense with the NFL draft, transfers and Covid, but I never expected we would fall completely to the bottom of the canyon.

I know Baylor had a tough year last year (2-7), so Aranda if you're listening, I think I speak for most LSU fans in saying, you have an open invitation to return anytime!

I want him as a d coordinator. LSU should only hire proven winners for head coach.

I don't understand how anyone could've not been an Aranda fan

What was it about him or his defenses that made you not like him? His halftime adjustments were legendary. And his defenses got better as the year went on because he was constantly adjusting to optimize the talent. Compare that to what we have now and last season which is zero adjustments and zero clue why things are going bad.

I guess I just don't understand how someone can look at Aranda and what he did and think "this guy isn't good". I know you already admitted you were wrong, but what was it that you were thinking at the time?

How about yall let the man get his feet wet…
In ‘05, after the Tennessee game, people said Pelini’s defense would never hold up. Then they played lights out till a very tired team gave out against Georgia. 06 and 07 were quite nice defenses….
The man called his first game in the Rose Bowl against a quality offensive veteran. He’s learning and getting better.
When a pattern unfolds, then bitch.

I’d say I’m glad you aren’t in charge of anything related to LSU football because you’re clearly an idiot, but I’m also not convinced those who are running the football program are any smarter than you. So here we are, I guess.

Why? His defense was bend but don't break. That wasn't good enough?

That's because we haven't had a defense line worth a shite in years

It's because we haven't been great on defense in years, largely because we haven't had a defensive line worth a shite in years

You must not be an LSU fan either.
Aranda doesn't coach OL.
