Wont matter the next DC at LSU will be Chris Kiffin
Seems underwhelming, he only has one year of DC experience (2017 FAU).

Still not sure about baker, I would take aranda back with open arms and a deep wallet

I think Aranda would suffer the same problems he did in 2019. He really struggled to adjust to our offense scoring so frequently and so quickly. He made adjustments and they were much improved by the end of the season, but I do worry that'd be an issue under Kiffin.
I think to much is made of this. Yes that defense did struggle at times. But they never failed to come through or cause a threat to lose a game. Honestly all defenses struggle when their own offense scores so fast. But I think coaches are figuring that out also to a degree. The simple fact is in this age with so many explosive fast paced offense, expectations should be adjusted. The days of the 2011 level LSU defense or Top notch bama defenses are gone at least not at the shutdown level they performed at.

but it is worth being said that he and O did not part on the best of terms and O is currently on our staff.

Super teams existed in 2019. Those teams don't exist anymore.
Aranda had even said it then, and really, who stopped teams better? Maybe you forget, Nick Saban himself was given up points back then.

I certainly wouldn’t be mad about Aranda but his defense doesn’t fit our personnel. Our great Freshmen DL would used to take on blocks instead of penetrate and disrupt.

Aranda would be his superior in a way. Doubt he cares. Absolutely doubt Coach O cares. He’s getting a paycheck and he’s back at LSU. Dude is probably on cloud nine.

O took shots at Dave the minute he left. It was very unnecessary and he would constantly make remarks in interviews. Things got really heated defensively in 2019 and O believe it was due to Dave refusing to play 4 defensive lineman. Which is why they went to the 4-3 the next season. Just dumb
That’s unfortunate. I hold Dave Aranda in very high regard when it comes to DC’s

I’m probably in the minority, but I think BB is just an okay defensive coordinator. My biggest issue is that he feels like a one-trick pony if his blitzes don’t get home, we’re in trouble. I think there’s going to be a lot of pressure on him this season because the offense should be really good, which will put an even bigger spotlight on how the defense performs.
