re: Anonymous SEC coaches think LSU’s D could be better without Aranda

Third and Chavez traumatized me. I began to fear the end of games. That was not the case with Aranda defenses. He gave up more points than we wanted but we didn't take bad beats because of 4th quarter meltdowns.

As for Pelini-I do not want to bring up the 2007 Kentucky and Arkansas game defensive meltdowns because that would be rude. And I hate to be rude.

LES frickING MILES GAVE U PTSD SON

not chavis. chavis could save miles arse only so many times with his style. wake up go back and watch games son.

You're out of your mind. Aranda's defenses were ranked 10th, 12th, 25th and 31st. That's an average ranking of 19.5. LSU defenses weren't better under Miles because of John Chavis. They were better for the same reason Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin are in the top 5 every year. Because the best thing for your defense is a boring ball-control run-based offense that keeps your defense off the field.

There were times when I wish he was a little more aggressive particularly on 3rd down, but when shite hit the fan they were unreal. That string of games from Bama to Georgia to Clemson was unreal. I got to personally most all Of those and you felt like all games were over at halftime. His defensive units almost always got better during the season and during the games, (but for injuries) We always owe him.

That said, Bo Pelini is a home run hire. (Per Gene Chizik today too) He knows the school and the system, great recruiter, runs an attacking style defense that in many ways may match up better with this new high octane offense.

Also stop this bullshite about problems between Bebe and Aranda. That’s just garbage. They are like brothers

You're gonna catch a limit in one page.

i think this is backwards

these neo-offenses are designed to neuter aggression. aggression leaves space for the offense to work, basically

Aranda’s D was very leaky at times.

I’ll never forget the guy sitting with O’s cousin a few seats over screaming about firing Aranda “tonight.”

Aranda calls his scheme in a preventative way. Tried to limit big plays to give opponents the chance to stall within the drive. It worked a lot, and didn’t work almost as much. Still love the guy; he just had a different philosophy.

We are starting Andre Anthony and Travez Moore at DE right now and Pelini is all about bringing pressure with 4. Do you think either of those guys are in the two deep on any of the ‘05-‘07 DLs?

We don’t have elite edge rushers unless our true freshmen are ready. It’s going to be the greatest development coaching job of all time if Andre Anthony is an all SEC team player.
