re: If we have $2.5 million a year to hand out to a DC

This is the last time I am going through this with someone. I said the defense was fine all season. And all season all a lot yall could talk about was Ole Miss, Vandy, Texas. Let's go through them.

Texas - This was a top 10 matchup and the teams were headed in different directions. Texas that finished the season with a barely winning record was NOT the same Texas team we played in September. Had Texas managed to win that game, you are looking at 2-3 Loss LSU.

Vanderbilt - They only scored 24 on our defense and our entire DLine was out for this game. Also, this game was 38-17 and in hand going into half.

Florida - We had no film on Trask and he was money on 3rd down. This is really the only game I'll say the defense looked suspect, and they finished that game by holding them to 7 in the second half, again, when it actually mattered.

Ole Miss - This was the game after Alabama, Delpit was nursing an injury and it was 30-7 at one point.

Arkansas - see above.

I'm not trying to convince you. I am telling you that you are wrong about Aranda. I said after all of these ball games that the D would be fine when it mattered, and guess what? They were.
