According to coaches Aranda best hire last year

I was traveling this week so listen to Sirius college football a ton. They are universally high on LSU this year as a legitimate contender. As always the issue is can we get by bama. But one of the things I heard is how they really seem the believe that we are going to open up the offense and that Les finally gets it after almost getting fired. Also they said the hiring of defensive coordinator David Aranda was the best hire in all of college football last year and there was a poll or something among active coaches that all said easily that was best hire last year. Said he was like a kid in a candy shop with all the talent at LSU and the expect a stellar defense this year like 2011. Basically that he built a top ten defense year in and year with two and three star athletes and everyone is dying to see what he can do with 4 and 5 stars and perfect fit for LSU. And that whisky is screwed

Does Aranda ever call a blitz package?
I saw a LOT of soft zone yesterday. A TON.
Not to mention the fact that he can't scheme to stop a counter. Wisky pulled a CLM at one point and ran the same play five times in a row and we couldn't stop it.
I get that the defense was on the field due to our offense that digressed, but I didn't see anything yesterday that stood out to me as Aranda being some sort of genius. If Wisky has a half arse QB, they put up 30. Easily.
You realize that Wisky had a first and 25 once and converted it in two plays? Twice they had first and 20 and converted, then once they had a second and 20 then converted.
We sat in a soft zone and gave them 10-12 years a play and did not rush more than 4.
All I heard all off season was how he disguised pressure, etc. Their slow, below average QB had his way with that scheme.
Just wait until we play teams with real QBs and a modern offense. That defense will give up a ton of points. They are soft, just like the past several years. Holes everywhere and our secondary, outside of T White, is 10 yards away from the nearest WR.

It was the teams first time playing under a new scheme. They play well considering. As bad as the offense and special teams were, they were placed in bad field position all game long and still held Wisky to only 1 TD and some FG's. I'm sure there was some communication and alignment issues that will get rectified as they play more in the new scheme.
But there's no excuse for the offense. They've been in the same system for years and still can't move the damn ball.

The defense was left on the field far too long. The new scheme is an adjustment as well.
The problem was Les. That team did NOT come to play and the offense was terrible.

I get that, but I didn't see much variation in the scheme at all. Like our offense, our defense maybe ran 5 different plays.

I don't disagree, but my point is Wisky had several more points ripe for the taking. An INT in the EZ (their QB had a Brandon Harris moment), a short FG they didn't try, and many dropped balls 10-15 yards down the field.
Not to mention the fumble recovery....you realize that was ANOTHER big play that they converted and we got lucky?
I get it was the first game but that D will get eaten up against modern CFB offenses. Would probably help if they went up against one in practice but I digress. LOL

Well if they could fricking get wisky off the field they wouldn't have that problem!

I've seen better def. coaches in high school.

I thought the D did their job, played well. The problem is Miles. He runs the so called offense as unimaginatively as possible and has a problem committing to starting QBs no matter what.

Defense was not the problem, guess some of you do not under stand what happened yesterday!

ADD: We never covered the TE all day, and we missed tackles all day....many leading to extra yards and 1st downs. D can look in the mirror and take much blame for their performance.
I didn't see anything from our pass rush that made me say 'that was different'. It was more of the same with Key beating a guy every now and then, and maybe some other pressure. Didn't see Neal do a thing, and even Beck on certain packages did not get press on the qb.
Going to be a lounge season, especially when the competition in the SEC gets even better.

With regards to blitzing.
Anyone who watched an Aranda defense prior to last night might have been worried that Aranda would blitz TOO MUCH at LSU.
THAT'S his M.O.
With that, what happened last night is for the board to guess

Obviously there is no substantive proof of this opinion about our defense, but I have to wonder if Miles messes with the defense. You can look at a number of instances with different coordinators over Miles' tenure and find that typically aggressive coordinators in crucial situations become passive.
All we've heard all season is that Aranda disguises his blitzes yet we saw none yesterday. Discounting Steele, one only has to look at Pelini, Chavis and now Aranda and wonder if Miles' hand is not in the defense. I don't believe he calls the defensive sets but I do believe the evidence points to the possibility that he is setting the defensive philosophy and that philosophy is a soft type prevent defense.
Just a thought but given our offensive philosophy, one has to admit that it is at least plausible.

No one could watch that game and truly believe the defense was the problem. I believe Aranda's schemes are complicated and our players are having a hard time with all of the reads. They need time to get into the defensive rhythm.
Offense on the other hand, nothing has changed and it never will.

Wisconsin ran alot of counters and misdirections with some screens at the beginning of the game so Aranda couldn't blitz. What we should be applauding is the guy made a halftime adjustment. We haven't seen that in years.

fricking 16 points buddy, all the while being on the field for well over 60% of the game. What do you expect.
You're an idiot.
