Aranda is a better fit than Riley at LSU

I haven’t heard anyone state the obvious which is that Defese still wins championships. Now and forever. Look no further than Georgia. They’re ability to keep teams under 14 points this season is why in spite of an oK offense they are far and away the best team in the country. LSU football’s legacy starts and ends with great defense and the ability to run the ball. So I’m going Aranda all day for that reason. A great defense is always better than a good offensive scheme.

Tell that to 2019. Also Riley knows how to run the ball

I agree. Aranda is my first choice. Would be happy with Riley. Would be happy with Petersen.

Currently I’m heavily leaning Petersen simply based on logic.

Offense > defense lately. A good QB that can check down to the third option can't be stopped. There was no defense stopping our 2019 offense. It just shows that the game has moved towards offense.

Rules have changed in the last decade to give offense the edge.... A good offense can't be covered as well alot due to rule changes.

I prefer Aranda or Campbell over Riley, especially for these absurd salaries that are being thrown around for him. To me, they’re both safer bets over the long term. Lincoln is a one-trick pony who hasn’t shown that he can manage the multitude of facets that go into making a great program. I think the other 2 guys are much more thorough in their approaches.

I mean, Dave was part of that run. Riley’s role in that run was getting his shite pushed in.

pretty sure in 2019 saban himself said an elite offense will always beat an elite defense. Feel like the defense wins championships is a bit old fashioned now. And what has a Georgia won? Who have they actually played? A couple good teams.. haven’t seen them play any legit playoff contending teams yet.



ETA:found an article by ESPN, was October last year when Saban said that

Well, I have.

tCC post from a previous thread.

But I've been anti-Riley and pro-Aranda since before CEO was officially fired, so I get ignored a lot and downvoted even more. The above was the best summary I could muster up.

Love the responses. I’m over the Riley talk. I hope we get Aranda. I think Riley has a good thing going at OU with the low expectations. I think ArNda is a great football mind.

I think Lincoln was kill it in La immediately. Aranda would take longer. Both have a huge upside.

It’s honestly to the point I don’t care about the salary. They’re all getting paid, I just care about winning.

But to be an elite offense in the spread era you need a transcendent QB, so he’s essentially saying it takes a Burrow to beat an elite defense. You’ve then hitched your wagon to finding that guy year in and year out, at one of the hardest positions in football to scout, recruit, and develop, where barely a handful of them even exist in the first place. Riley proves that with Rattler. Bama is the most talented roster in the country getting beat by Jimbo Fisher’s drunk arse, cause Bryce Young can’t make a decision. Clemson is garbage because DJ Ugaluengijsbf is garbage.

UGA may fall flat on their face cause let’s face it that’s some UGA shite to do, but they are the best team in the country with whoever the frick is playing QB this week because they have talent lined up in the right places on defense.
