Aranda. Doesn’t mean pelini hire was in any way bad or we can’t win a title with him running the D. I just feel that Aranda’s ability to make adjustments after feeling out an offense is huge in modern college football.

This is the wrong question to ask. Aranda was leaving regardless. The question is who would have been a better hire than Pelini? For me, I can't think of a better, safer hire. We have history and experience with this guy...and he was outstanding when he was here previously. What evidence is there that he won't be outstanding again?

Two different ways
Bo will call games the way LSU fans want a DC to call games. And he hollers, our fans love that shite

but for some reason he wasnt motivated to work hard here and IMHO its because as soon as he wasnt the center of attention and seen as the reason we were winning he got the DGAF attitude about it and he needed to be replaced because he wasnt committed and was more focused on moving on
Good lord.

What about Pelini’s even more proven success at LSU?

Both left LSU for HC gigs at P5 schools, both are proven commodities. Only difference being that Pelini showed he could win 9-10 games a year at Nebraska and Aranda is in year one as a HC. I’m equally as confident in Bo as I was Aranda to put out an elite unit on D game in and game out. I think Pelini will be more aggressive than Dave was. Would be very surprised if we aren’t a top 15 ranked total defense by next years end. I think arguing 3-4 vs 4-3 is a moot point because we’ll give multiple looks throughout the game and switch it up often.

aranda has been mailing it in the second half of many games and often doesnt seem to have any plan until mid second quarter when playing good teams.
we won a NC in spite of aranda not because of him
yes he was, and is a good DC, but for some reason after last year he wasnt motivated any more to work hard here to put up the best defense and IMHO its because as soon as he wasnt the center of attention and seen as the reason we were winning he got the DGAF attitude about it and he needed to be replaced because he wasnt committed and was more focused on moving on
Woooow. This is a lot of speculation. You work for the team?

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 really was not impressed with Aranda’s defense this year until the A&M game and then after. Ole Miss flat out embarrassed Aranda.

What the frick does it matter? Aranda is gone, Bo is here. Let’s get behind him.
Posted on 1/27/20 at 4:41 pm to tigerfan247365
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’ll take Bo
Aranda is over rated

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!

Well what about Bill Cowher? Pellini or Cowher, hmm....can’t say this move was in the right direction.

Pelini had a better career at LSU than aranda did, no?
Absolutely. It's not even close really.
Pelini had a top 5 defense all 3 years he was at LSU.
Aranda never had a top 5 defense and finished outside of the top 20 twice in 4 years.
