A coaching buddy from up north talked to Aranda, noted that he needs to evolve with the game, too many people now have tape of his years coaching.

LSU was strong against the pass but weak against the run last year. It was noted this is a critical year for Aranda, it’s the first time Aranda has coached four years at any school. Expect changes in LSU’s defense this year, more rush and disruption up front.

Aranda wants to show he can evolve and improve. Interesting that both offense and defensive coaches at LSU are evolving making dramatic changes in the same year.

I hope we get more TFL, sacks, fumbles with a more aggressive front.

'needs to evolve' is too strong

More like 'make sure as heck, to continue to reinforce the 90% that you do better than everybody and prioritize emphasis on the other 10%'

Interesting take. And it was Tom Herman as OC of Ohio State who beat Wisconsin 59-0 in '14 (with Aranda at DC). That said, it was more likely Cardale Jones' sandlot offense that killed Wisconsin (with one weeks practice after Barrett was injured), more than anything Herman did.

Well, Coach Eaux did graduate from Northwestern St and coached at Arkansas and Syracuse. That counts as "up north" in my book.

Aranda is a brilliant strategist and he's not a one trick pony. One of his best attributes is in game adjustments. This is the most complete D he's had since being at LSU and I fully expect Aranda to let the dogs loose. I think he will be much more aggressive and with playmakers at each level we can anticipate exotic pressure packages.

Brady told fans to get your popcorn ready for the offense, but I think it's Aranda's D that's going to be putting on a show.

I don’t think there are going to be any dramatic changes on defense this year. This is silly.

I remember seeing an interview with Coach Aranda right when he was hired and he talked about getting the basic concepts put in. He went on to say that once his players understand those, he will expand what they can do and it will open a lot of options. Maybe some of this is a result of some guys who have a few years learning his system and he is now adding more for them.

Stud interior linemen would help.

Depth and injuries. Last year's lack of depth at the D line and injuries took it's toll. That's the past. This year's D will be remembered.

Chaisson going down last year was a big deal for how this defense ran in regards to disruption/pressure.

A&M hung 70+ on Aranda last year. He needs to get better. DL was pathetic all year.

The Aranda scapegoating has started a little early this season.

We love Aranda. Having said that his defense has been good not great. He finally has a couple of legit nose tackles.. the back 7 is very good. Mullen has out schemed Aranda three times in a row. Bama has blown our line off the ball for several years.

The “best defensive coordinator”. Should do better than that.

The Texas A&M game was a black eye for him. The highest paid DC in the land should have a defense that can get a stop once in 7 tries.

More 4 man fronts to stop the run is the main thing we will see that’s different than most years. He may add more concepts with a veteran D like this year.

Getting Chaisson back will help any defense "evolve".
