re: “Our defense is better now than at any point last year.”

O is insecure because he knows Aranda is way smarter than him and O couldn't understand his defenses.

There is no reason for it, honestly. O got the job not on merit, but due to politicking. He literally sold himself on the job by virtue of getting the best coordinators.

I understand the logic of why he went with Linehan and Pelini, as they aren't in danger of leaving, allowing for some continuity, but they also aren't exactly at the cutting-edge of thinking. I'd rather he go with young coordinators who leave than these dinosaurs.
