1. Use the cache and leverage of the program and 2019 season to hire the BEST OC/DC available and not try to hire guys who you think would not use LSU as a quick stepping stone to another gig.
2. Hire the best DC and let him run HIS defense...not the guy you want to run YOUR defensive approach.
O was pissed that Joe Brady left LSU after just one season because it meant O had to find another OC to replace him. This was after swinging and missing on the OC hires in 17 and 18. First and foremost, O did not want another young coach who would use LSU for a quick career boost then move on. So he hired a veteran coach, with no market demand, because he knew the guy probably wouldn't be looking to use LSU as a quick stepping stone. Ability was second in the qualities Ed wanted.
On defense, Ed wasn't heartbroken to see Aranda go. Ed never liked Aranda's approach because it limited the impact of the DL (which is all O knows). With Aranda gone, O now had the opportunity to run HIS defense. Unfortunately, his defense is focused SOLELY on the DL being impactful. He didn't really think about maybe he didn't quite have the personnel to make the switch or that the change in approach could have ripple effects on the second two levels of the defense. He just wanted a DL that would sack the QB. But he also wanted a DC that wasn't going to be quick to leave LSU after one successful season. So he found another veteran guy, with little market demand, he thought he could pay well to run O's defense for years to come.
From 17-19 O had only minimal control over the gameplay/approach. Aranda essentially had full autonomy over the defense. Ed knows NOTHING about offensive football, so he had to leave that up to his OC.
Following 2019 he had the opportunity to fully make it "his team". They were going to run HIS defense. And he wasn't going to bring in another "kid" on offense who would bail after one season. So what could have been done post-2019 to prevent this? In short, keep Orgeron's involvement in the actual gameplay/approach to a minimum...as it was in 17-19
