Can’t say this was a move in the right direction...

Best DC hire we could have made.

Anyone who doubts Pelini as a DC has not really watched the teams he put together at LSU. People this is an incredible hire.

That’s not how it works. It’s not like we fired Aranda to hire Pelini

Well... one is an actualy option one is the HC at Baylor.if you think Aranda is the best, everyone is a step down

I like Pelini. He had some good defenses.

I dont See and hires that and guaranteed to work out better.

Build the DL and he’ll succeed.

Having Aranda isn't an option so why are you asking who we'd rather have? Pelini was an elite DC for us. What exactly don't you like about the hire and who could we have gotten that was better suited for the job?

I'm biased towards Aranda just because of his proven success while at LSU but I think Pelini will do a great job

Aranda 4 Life. I like the more cerebral types and trust them to adapt more to changing offenses in college football.

But I'm happy with Pelini. Our energy level on the sidelines is going to be nuclear

If we're looking at proven success at LSU specifically, what did Aranda prove that Pelini didn't?

Aranda left to get a HC job. Your post is very stupid. Bo is a damn good DC taking over for DC that helped win us a championship just like Bo helped us win one last decade.

They have very similar resumes at LSU, with Pelini arguably having a better one.

Should we have held Aranda's family hostage?

The guy knows how to coach defense but, he was an absolute loose cannon at Nebraska.

That's my only concern. I have no doubt he can put together some good defensive seasons I'm just worried about his attitude

Just curious, what did Aranda do at LSU that Pelini didn’t? Both won a NC, no?

I'm convinced that regardless of who LSU hired, the rant will find a way to spin it to sound like a genius hire. Might as well go with the flow and enjoy being on top. We the champs!

Pelini may be a downgrade, but the choice was not between Pelini and Aranda. Aranda is gone. Who would be better than Pelini?

You may be able to rattle off a name or two, but it will be a short list. We will do fine with Pelini.

i would still like this turnout even if it meant firing aranda to do it

aranda has been mailing it in the second half of many games and often doesnt seem to have any plan until mid second quarter when playing good teams.

we won a NC in spite of aranda not because of him

yes he was, and is a good DC, but for some reason after last year he wasnt motivated any more to work hard here to put up the best defense and IMHO its because as soon as he wasnt the center of attention and seen as the reason we were winning he got the DGAF attitude about it and he needed to be replaced because he wasnt committed and was more focused on moving on
