Have no clue why people keep putting this stuff out there when there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that says this is likely... The personnel that was recruited in this class suggests the alignment is going to remain 3-4.... LSU does not have a single 4-3 de on this roster

I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do.

You are completely right in saying we have the ideal personnel for a 3-4 defense.

Though I’m with you that a DC SHOULD adapt his scheme to the personnel he’s dealt, it’s usually not the reality. That’s one of the things Aranda was brilliant at - creating roles and putting guys in positions that suit their strengths.

From what I’ve seen out there, I just don’t have faith in another DC being that creative and detailed.

Will the next DC have the same vision for Brooks as Aranda did? I have my doubts.

They’ll see his current size, speed, and ball skills and lazily think Safety. Sadly.
