Yeah and his success at Stanford as DC had nothing to do with the fact that his head coach’s offense was a clock eating machine with a ton of ground and pound. That won’t fly with LSU’s new offensive philosophy, just ask Aranda or Chavis when he went to A&M. At least Aranda eventually adapted towards the end of ‘19

That’s a very good point. Having acknowledged that I’d say any great DC is going to struggle some a few games a year in this era because even Saban’s defenses give up a lot of points against some of the more high octane offenses. Everyone keeps talking 3-4 or 4-3 or 4-2-5. It seems to me the coach that can adapt to the players we have, coach to their strengths, have the ability to change the defensive coverages we are in at a moments notice are the coaches that will have better success. The days of being married to one defensive scheme are over. Play a base defense and make adjustments when you’re getting exposed. I think Derek Mason is sharp enough to evolve to whatever works during the game in and of itself. Having better talent helps too.

Other candidate?

How’s this thread aging
