re: Dave Aranda is BRUTAL behind the microphone…

Two comments:
1. Baylor media and expectations for that university expectation is to be a little toned down after everything with football and basketball as well as culture.
2. The pain of the loss, care for each other and Baylor was undeniable. That speaks volumes to me about the culture Aranda has created.

He had a squad of seniors, we had a makeshift group. I have no issue because you run plays for specific match-ups. If you leave the receiver, you lose both because nobody on their team matched up with Green

Still, a punt? This board would lose it’s collective mind if LSU punted from the opponent’s 30 with a lot of time left in the second quarter.

Oh, I agree, I was just pointing out that it actually happened. As unbelievable as that seems

You nail it on this comment.. I would only add that if you are this person's boss... its key to know not to "over"-manage this type of person in what their strengths are ...

Aranda pretty tells you how bad of an OC Sloan is that we complain about on here. He flat out said it right here they telegraph what they do and everyone knows it.
That’s not what he said. He stated that there was one formation where one of the receivers only runs a specific route out of. That’s one formation,and one guy within that formation. Your statement makes it sound like we are telegraphing everything, or even most of what we are doing. Theres a vast difference between the two. College offenses often have a small handful of formations that they only run one or two plays from. It’s up to the defense to stop it. But when you’ve got a guy like Tray’dez, it’s hard to stop. And they couldn’t.

He is very smart. I have had a conversation with him and you can tell he is very smart and very uncomfortable doing the head coach things. He is not a social person at all. I heard another LSU coach say he was the smartest person in the building most of the time

I'm pretty sure you probably wouldn't do any better, however your biased opinion of how someone should articulate a football game from their perspective is skewed by you inside the box thinking. Baylor thinks he's doing fine by paying him 4.5 million. I trust Baylor's opinion of Coach Aranda over yours. That is all.

What you fail to realize is Baylor was a severely overmatched team in comparison to LSU. They could not handle LSU's speed and it was very obvious in this game. The score could've been much uglier. Knowing what an offense is doing and having the athletes to stop the execution are 2 entirely different things. Les Miles ran the most predictable offenses ever but his superior athletes and physicality often would overtake games. That's how it works in football sometimes especially at the college level.

I find it interesting how much LSU struggled defensively in 2019. Vandy, ole miss ring any bells?

No head coach at Baylor will do any better than him. He doesn’t have the players and can’t get them at Baylor

Because you know...that's what we're complaining about with Sloan, right? HIS OFFENSIVE PLAYCALLING.
I mean, LSU scored 44 while giving up 31, allowing 445 yards through the air.

I’m not sure what the hell this was supposed to mean, or what point you were trying to make, but this was a complete failure, on your part, to respond to my post…be better or have ChatGPT do it for you next time

It was 1 play. Aranda said we only ran 1 specific route out of that 1 formation.
If he knew it, you can bet every DC in the SEC knew it by the time we started conference play.
Our red zone offense was dogshit this year.
Happy New Year my friend, life's too short to get bogged down in this sort of insignificant minutiae.

I will never understand the love some of you guys have for DA, a simple google search will show that LSU's final defensive ranking dropped every year he was at LSU (except maybe his first year. )

It’s because there is a great multitude on this board that navigate through emotional pathways, and refuse to allow reason and logic to be introduced into the calculus

Ignorance. That's what this reads. Someone who clearly never watched LSU play defense or how the game has evolved to be more offensive favored. You're clinically insane if you think Aranda wasn't a great defensive mind. LSU's defense in 2019 was a great defense. Anytime they were pressed in games they met the challenge and got the stops.
Your post reads like someone who only looks at stats but as the old saying goes, stats don't tell the fully story. Anyone with eyes can tell DA was everything to LSU from the end of MIles through Orgeron's era. His defense got considerably better as the season went along in 2019 and because LSU was getting such big leads on teams, their defense would go soft. If the games were close, that defense would shut anyone out.

When was he ever a Great DC? Sure as hell not when he was here or since he has been at Baylor.
