Upgrade at DC or not?

Defenses will be more fun to watch. Way less reaction and more proactive approach

Can we let the man coach a game first? I know people soured on Dave at the end, but it’s hard to improve much on what he did here. Bo was a great hire and I expect him to do well again.

In terms of the style yes. Coach O wants his defensive lineman attacking making TFL’s Sacks. He wants more turnovers also. This exactly the brand of defense he envisioned since he took over. Nothing against aranda at all, he was a great defensive coordinator but man am I excited about this 4-3 defense with Pelini and the helm. He matches the intensity and fire Coach O wants as a person and also defensive coordinator!!!!

Pelini’s defenses were some of the meanest ever at LSU

Bo had top 3 defenses at LSU. Aranda regressed every year seemingly. I’ll say Bo is an upgrade

Will be very hard to say at this point. There’s a reason Dave was offered a HC job at a pretty decent D1 program.

Bo was/is no slouch either though. His defenses were incredibly aggressive. Almost like an offense playing D.

Will be fun to watch.

Ask me in 3 years, baw.

Xs and Os aside, I really think Bo’s style fits better here. LSU always has great athletes and most DCs will have success these days.

But I prefer a passionate and fiery DC with an aggressive style. Grantham has had that at Florida and I think he’s been the best DC in the SEC the last couple years. It’s nice to have that again with Bo imo

Bo won a title because the defense was so stout, Aranda won a title because the offense was ungodly. I think it's an upgrade but time will tell

If Bo has adapted to the crazy offense schemes, then an upgrade. If not, we will miss Dave.

Just going off memory but I don't recall during Pelini's time here thinking "that was a great offense we just stoned."

And for the newer offenses we did play he seemed to struggle to crack the code.

Dave frustrated me for about ten weeks but we played great down the stretch.
