well he doesn't have sec caliber players either. wtf are you talking about ? you only bring up weak competition over the long term when you have the same caliber of players. you cant say he sucks because he cant dominate bigger and better programs with inferior talent.

thats not gonna happen on a regular basis

Welp; you said it. We certainly can't be talking here about next year because surely, it's going to distract the players from the big game tomorrow.

I believe he's better focusing only as a DC and I believe he's better at LSU than Baylor.

Dennis Allen was a horrible head coach, but the Bears have the 9th ranked defense in the NFL right now.


Wish we still had DA on the defensive side of the ball

He didn't schedule enough mid-Conference USA and American Athletic Conference teams or Baylor could have been right up there with Utah, Texas Tech and Wake Forest in the top 10 and 20 teams. Wake Forest, as an example, is 7-1, ranked 17th and will be 8-1 after it plays Merrimack this week. What a joke.

Our DC should be up to Lane. That's why he's HC and we are on the internet.

He didn’t call the defense at baylor. I think getting and keeping a good OC after Grimes flamed out was also a problem.

Yes, cause he did such awful job during his time at LSU


He didn't do an awful job, but his defenses progressively got worse during his time here. Anyone who doesn't remember the teeth gnashing during the 2019 season about Aranda and his defense has selective memory. They finished the year ranked 44th, despite having 10 of 11 starters going on to have NFL careers, and 16 total counting backups.

And I know, I know. Muh offense scored so fast that they had to play too many snaps. BS.

Aranda's only weakness as a DC was recruiting and that literally doesn't matter anymore. If BB decides to go be a HC then I'd love to have Aranda back.

During the 2019 season, there were many injuries and players playing with injuries for at least the first half of the season. The defense became much better later after that

We could do much worse than Aranda.

Other side of the coin is his defenses caused me to have multiple near-strokes.
