I’m going on record saying I don’t think Aranda will be our DC going forward

He will be poached by someone. This game reminded me a lot of Chavis’s last game before he slithered away to A&M. The lack of attention to detail and inability to make proper adjustments was unlike him. He’s not perfect, but this game felt different. Yes, we have injuries. Yes, we’re talking about 7 OTs and a gassed defense. Yes, we had guys playing who haven’t contributed much all season. Something still seemed off. Orgeron melting down to him spoke volumes, I think.

I hope I’m wrong. We need Dave Aranda.

What do you want Aranda to do when our head coach doesnt develop D-Line or pass rush?

No other school is desperate enough to pay a DC like a HC.

He is staying because he’s priced himself out of the market because LSU knows we’re fricked without him.

We gave up 24 points in regulation with two key starters out. The million points scored in OT really isn’t a gauge of performance due to players being totally exhausted.

I actually agree with you. I'm concerned.

Hope you are wrong too.

There was some complaining and barking going on between players that was different.

Plus Orgeron could be seen screaming at people after certain plays on the sidelines like he was specifically blaming or calling them out.

Looked ugly on TV.

I wouldn't be shocked if he left. Program internally looks like a shitshow in certain respects. If certain folks bail than Katie bar the door

I hope you’re wrong as well.

He actually did make excellent 2nd half adjustments. The muffed punt was just a bad break and they got the ball at the 20-25 yard line right?

You acknowledge all of this and still came to your silly conclusion.

We completely shut AM down in the second half except for a few throws at the end of regulation. All bets are off in overtime. That’s just reality.

He gave up 24 whole points when they didn’t start inside our 30, and he was missing fehoko, chaisson, Fulton, Joseph and Phillips for most of the OTs.

Also we scored on defense and we won that fricking game. Twice

I want him to go, so Orgeron can be completely and finally exposed and fired, along with Alleva. Don't believe that this group can lead us to championships.

cant say you are wrong, i had that same uneasy feeling watching the game that aranda didnt seem to be invested in winning this game, for whatever reason.

maybe he felt it was a meaningless game so he wasnt as invested as he should be but the defense didnt show up

He absolutely made adjustments at halftime. They were WAY better in the second half of regulation.

When overtime came, it just wore them down. It's hard in overtime, when offenses are right there in scoring position, and a lot of the time the offenses are in 4 down mode. And with the way they alternate possessions, you have multiple occasions where you are playing defense on back to back possessions.

I stop critiquing the game as I normally would when it gets to overtime. It's just not real football at that point.

A&M has under 300 yards in regulation or barely over it. Until the last drive they only had 50 or so yards in the second half.

And, missing several key players. Get a grip.

I'm not a 4th and Aranda fan. Can't leave fast enough. Hell, if the game from last night was still being played he'd still have a 3 man rush and drop 8. As I have said many times, if most quarterbacks can have a minute to find someone open, you can drop 11 and someone will still be open. Pitiful!!

O should rip E a new one for not being able to ice a 7 point lead with 2 mins left by getting a fricking first down.

Aranda is fine. But for some reason aTm has been the team his d seems to perform the worst against.

I noticed a few times O was yelling like a bitch and Aranda walked away from the huddle shaking his head and the look of disgust on his face.

We pay him a lot of money. It would be a hard poach unless he becomes a head coach.
