No no no don’t try this. When it’s signing season Dave Arandas name isn’t mentioned once here for months, it’s all Ed Orgeron. So you can’t now turn around and blame Aranda for recruits just because they’re not ready or not performing. If Orgeron gets all the credit on signing day he gets all the blame now.

It's Arandas job to either recruit players for his defense or to have someone else do it for him with his direction. If that isn't happening, it could be either Amanda's or Orgeron's fault. I don't know which.

Stevens - #1 safety
Delpit - rated top safety in CFB last year
Fulton - 5 star
Stingley - 5 star
Vincent - 5 star
Phillips - #1 ILB
Queen - 4 star
Chaisson - 5 star
Lawrence - high 4 star
Fehoko - high 4 star
Shelvin - high 4 star
Ika - 4 star
Logan - 4 star
Ferrell - 3 star, but most consistent DL outside of Shelvin
Flott - 3 star, one of the more consistent DBs

I think that's a lot of quality players. The whole staff deserves some blame. Busch did great with the safeties last season, but they are struggling this year. Aranda is DC and LB coach and the LBs are not filling and making tackles at the LOS. Raymond's CBs have been inconsistent. The DL can't get a push. Blame O or the DL coach (forgot who the interim is). Half the team is playing hurt. Blame Moffit.

IDK. We have the talent to be better than this defensively. The D now is the worst on points, yards and yards per play since 2001. It's not TOP we are even with opponents. It's not number of plays on D. They are fewer on average than 2018.

We currently allow 30.7 points to our P5 opponents. Blame whoever you want, but it has to be fixed or the first game against a team with a pulse could end our run if the offense doesn't play lights out.

Miles, the administration the local media and the negative people in the fan base really hurt recruiting 2015 through 2018.

Appears to be fixed now. Although 2019 is not a great year for talent in Louisiana.

The DC has to be a big part of recruiting. Aranda passed on Christian Harris for example.

This year at least we have a true 3/4 nose tackle. Our Defensive line has been below SEC average for several,years. Our linebackers are SEC average. Safeties are vulnerable in coverage.. especially when we give QBs so much time to,throw. I do not think scheme is the problem. Against the Ole Miss option. Our players were out of position on each one of the big plays. We can call that coaching Player focus and Bama hangover probably big factor.

Our defense is going to get torched by Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State in the SEC champ and playoff games. It is unrealistic to expect otherwise.

Fortunately our offense can out score those teams.
