He wasn’t replaced by a “glorified D-Line coach” because of politics. It was because Alleva was incompetent in the search. Your post explains nothing, it’s just a blanket excuse with no substance.


This is BS and you know it. He was hired due to a successful coup pulled off by certain individuals in the athletic department and "the local" media.

Additionally, I find the unfounded strawman beneath it equally disappointing. Brady would have still been an assistant with the Saints. It’s no like anyone on earth (even Saban) saw what this guy was going to be except Steve Ensminger


allow me to fix this one for you.

quote:

Aranda’s unit took until the A&M game to find its footing. You sound salty as hell, and back up your points with nothing.


An offense that possessed the ball for literally a few minutes of real time and many time a minute or less of game time was going to leave a tired defense. We've seen this for a decade now dating back to Oregon Ducks and Cam Newton's Auburn team having the EXACT same issues.

... and lets not call that unit 100% Aranda's. O started meddling in it and forced Dline stunts etc wanting the Defense to be more aggressive and philosophically changing it at its core from Aranda's design.

Ofcourse, O would only have so much say so in Aranda's defense despite the consistent smears and political attacks against him thus leading to his boy Bo Pelini!!! coming back to town.

Yeah, we saw how that worked out.

I don’t know it because I wasn’t in the war room with them. From a fan’s perspective, we had three options: Herman, Jimbo, and Ed. Ed was the least exciting, least successful option. He was the fallback.

You credit E for seeing Brady’s potential, but not the man the had E in the position to begin with. You can blame Aranda’s defensive woes on the offense all day, but I didn’t see us go to a ground and pound against TAMU, UGA, OU, or Clemson. Again, you’re just deflecting.
