You need players to be an elite defense. No DC can pitch shutouts and be the number 1 defense in the country without great players. Be thankful he’s doing enough to beat two top 10 teams with what we have out there. And it’s not just a talent issue, we have too many guys standing around watching and not hustling to the ball, we have too many missed tackles, we have too many blown assignments and we have too many players looking to strip the ball while being carried 8-10 yards downfield. We have a lot of issues on defense and none of them have much to do with Dave Aranda.

I have no doubt Aranda can and will fix any problems that need to be fixed without any help that's not already on the staff.

That said,

all of these issues reflect directly and adversely on coaching...and he's the HMFIC.

Fertilizer!

There's hardly a single issue that is not directly tied to Aranda.

Every DC in CFB would love to have half the talent Dave gets to work with.

The lengths people go to cove for him are incredulous.

There is nothing wrong with our talent.

This is coaching and can be corrected in practice.

Who is responsible for coaching the defense? Find that guy and tell him to correct these issues.

Too bad Aranda doesn't have great players to work with:

Tyler Shelvin - 4 Stars
Rashard Lawrence - 4 Stars
Glen Logan - 4 Stars
K'Lavon Chaisson - 5 Stars
Patrick Queen - 4 Stars
Michael Divinity - 4 Stars
Jacob Phillips - 4 Stars
Kristian Fulton - 5 Stars
Derek Stingley - 5 Stars
Grant Delpit - 4 Stars
Jacoby Stevens - 5 Stars
