The dicksucking contest for Aranda is odd.

I agree he was a great D coordinator but our defense consistently got worse every year he was here.

And we paid him 2.5 mill a year.

Yall act like we had a top5-10 defense every year with him.



After saying that, I think he did an amazing job this post season.


I think it would be pretty easy for Pelini to have our defense at the same level or possibly better next year.

Pretty artificial choice.

We don't have Aranda as an option. Obviously if we did, we would have kept him.

I'll go with Pelini 10 out of 10 times. I like the energy he brings plus the experience from being a HC at Nebraska. Was the best HC they have had out of all the ones they ran through since the Osborne / Solich years and was a good DC when here before. Plus he is an upgrade in recruiting.

I was never a big fan of Aranda because we made too many average qbs look like Heisman Trophy winners. I want an aggressive DC that will force other team into mistakes. We let offenses do their thing and we made adjustments accordingly. I want a DC like Clemson's that forced our offense to make adjustments or get beat. Under Aranda, we never forced other teams to change because we laid back and allowed other teams to dictate to us. Teams didn't fear our defense like in the old days. I'm cautiously optimistic that Pelini will change that mindset!

Wait. Aranda was available?

As to right direction. Pelini has as strong a defensive credentials as anyone you can name

if you give me prime Pelini vs prime Aranda, i'm taking Pelini every time.

the ONLY question is, is he still close to his prime, which i see no reason he wouldnt be

Pelini x100! I know everyone here worshipped aranda but statistically his defenses got worse every year he was here.

You tell us when was the last time this happened?

"During Pelini's three years as LSU defensive coordinator under then-coach Les Miles from 2005-07, the Tigers ranked third nationally on defense all three years. In two of those season, LSU ranked atop the Southeastern Conference in defense."

Even his record at Nebraska is similar to Miles at LSU but he had less talent to work with:

"Pelini was at Nebraska from 2008-2014, going 66-27 and winning at least nine games each season. While his tenure at Nebraska was generally successful and largely devoid of controversy, he once apologized publicly when audio surfaced of his profane rant against “fair-weather” fans."

Put it this way, I think Pelini will have better defenses here (this go-around) than Aranda did.

You seem to not remember the defenses in the early 2000’s

Why either or? We no longer have Aranda.
Pelini the ball is in your court.
I'm betting he handles it well.
He is proven.
