You don't think a defensive expert like Saban just hires the waterboy as a figurehead DC do you? Even defensive expert HCs need like-minded DCs to do the heavy lifting on a day-to-day basis while they manage the entire team. Great minds in a football program all add up. The more the better.

Best thing is, someone like Aranda will know exactly who can handle the attention to detail that he demands of himself.
