re: Didn’t the players say this was an easier Defense?

I'm betting the players don't like him as a person. He isn't likeable at all. I think that has plagues his career. How do you respect and play for a guy you can't even like?

Without football problems he's actually a likeable guy.

The issue is, that when things aren't going well his ability to communicate "drops off" (to be polite). To not be polite, if his really bad temper is triggered players won't receive coaching, they will receive arse chewings.

One of Aranda's biggest attributes was his ability to communicate. Yeah he gets mad, and you know it. He didn't hide it. But his "professor like communication" didn't change. It was even, no matter what was going on. Once you got used to it, and it is not easy for defensive players to get used to it, you got that consistently and communication/teaching/coaching was excellent.

Now they get somewhat of a Jekyl and Hyde. Bo knows what he wants. His ability to communicate it is not even and consistent. And it is showing.
