So Aranda is supposed to cover WRs and give coverage up top and also get good pressure on the QB

Maybe she should have thought about a 12th player on the field.

People want it both ways. You do what you gotta do, but no defense is perfect.

You had 2 coordinators to choose from for criticism, and you chose Aranda?

I'm not saying that Dave Aranda made EVERY right call, but his biggest problems in 2018 was injury to D backs.

As normal, everyone defends Aranda and is quick to trash O. LSU has 10 wins because the offense also carried us during some points of the season. It's was a team effort to get to 10 wins! All I'm saying is if he continues to make those same stupid mistakes, LSU is never going to beat the big boys on a consistent basis!

Everything said before “but” doesn’t count.

I don't think anyone is under the illusion that Aranda or any other coordinator makes 100% of the right calls all the time. But he's a goddamn great coach and earned every cent of his paycheck this year.

You have now posted stupidity twice in one thread. Just stop. Delete your posts and say 3 Our Fathers and 3 Hail Marys on your knees for forgiveness. Ban yourself for until April 1.

ETA: Crap, you posted a third time while I was typing. Double the prayers.

So what happened when he left our last-string DBs on an island by themselves right before half? Against the good teams in the SEC, halftime may be too late for making adjustments.

Yeah, like when the offense scored all those points on Bama and Aranda just couldn’t stop Tua.

It was perfect coverage. Just a tremendous play. You have to tip your hat.

You’re being ridiculous.

What he did to start that second half with what he had to work with was remarkable. We forced like three or four straight 3 and outs.. and then even when we muffed a punt HE STILL held them to only a fg!

Like?

The defense gave up over 21 points 3 times this season and we are 1-2 in those games.

0-2 in games when we gave up over 25

One coordinator masked weaknesses with playcalling and adjustments.

The other coordinator decided to call slow developing plays that put the most pressure on the weakest unit on the team.

And you decide to criticize the first one...

Adjust?? You need to adjust to the fact that you only have half a brain.

I'd delete that post before someone quotes it.


quote:

Aranda is a great defensive coordinator, but he continues to not make the right adjustments against passing teams. Against A&M, we let their QB pick us apart even though we knew he made bad decisions when he's hurried. We had that game in hand, but we just sat back and didn't blitz and let them come back time after time and don't make any adjustments. 

Against UCF, giving up that TD right before half was simply poor coaching. How do you let your last-string defensive backs have no protection over the top? If anything, we should have had three DBs standing on the goal line making sure they didn't get into the end zone without being double or triple teamed! 

LSU forked out the money to keep Aranda and even gave him the title of co or associate head coach, so it's time Aranda steps up and earns his big money. There were too many times this year that our defense was our liability and that's shouldn't be the case! It's easy for fans to jump on O, but when it comes to Aranda everyone gives him a free pass! Well, that pass is costing us a lot of money, so it's time for him to step up and make the needed adjustments or it's going to cost us more wins!


Too late
