re: Nobody is above critique and criticism. There are issues with the defense.

Anytime you express concern about anything then “Your not a real fan.” Ridiculous!!!

There's a difference between expressing reasonable concern and areas of improvement and then there's this board who thinks Aranda should be fired.

Arandas defense is a big reason coach O weathered the storm and came out the other side when trying to find a fix for the offense. The defense has held up much more than its fair share of the load in years prior. Yes something is not right this year but saying Aranda should be fired now is a very short term memory type of thinking. We are weak in key spots of the defense where we haven't been in years past. One of our top 3 players on D is a true freshmen. Our d line can't get pressure without sending a DB or extra lb on the blitz. Mistakes will be made. It happens. A down year isn't a reason to fire someone. Many of the people on this board also forget that these are kids playing. They will have bad games as well due to emotions and other factors.
