Well his defense completely shite the bed in that Arkansas game. If not for Pittsburgh upsetting WVU, that game would have cost LSU the national title.

Flynn finished that game under 50% passing IIRC and the play calling sure didn't help our defense out. Darren McFadden (top 5 SEC RB of all time) ran the wildcat all night

Bo Pelini was widely talked about as the #1 DC in the country for 4-5 years and had good results at Nebraska. Look at their record before/after him.

So did the offense. Pelini had a blitzing scheme that was pretty amazing. You did not know where it was coming from. When we blew the lead against Tenn at home they did not blitz at all and made the qb look like a heisman winner. The very next week they started blitzing and blew miss st out at their place. Thats when his defenses began to shape. May not be the best hire but i think it will be as good as Aranda's defensive rankings have been. If you look back at the rankings with the exception of his first year, they were really good after that.

Just so we’re clear-you’re crying over one game where he gave up 50 points after three overtime’s against one of the best backfields in college football history
