Aranda has won a conference championship and played in a NY6 bowl.

Wake me up when BK wins a championship or plays in a NY6.

Bro it’s Baylor. In the days of NIL they have zero chance of winning anything of significance

Schools like Baylor will never be able to spend the money needed to be successful

I also think LSU shouldn’t have hired him

Aranda is a career DC. There's nothing wrong with that. So is Venables at Oklahoma I believe.

As DC, absolutely.

When/if Baylor lets him ago, a big name school is going to pick him up and he’ll go back to being an elite DC.

Hope you’re right but nothing I have seen from him over the last 3 years gives me any confidence in your prediction.

I literally said that in this thread. I said bring him home if Baker gets a head coaching job. We agree on this. My point is he's not in BK's class as a head coach. Oh wait, he just went for it on 4th down again.

So you think our defense under BK has been better than it was under Aranda?


I mean….there was talk late in the 2019 season that LSU shouldn’t be the number 1 seed based on how badly the defense played. They got stops when they needed, but the defense was not good under Aranda.

Oh, and after Aranda left: LSU had the 67th Rushing Defense. LSU had the 124th Total Defense. [Only three teams were worse!] LSU Had the 97th Scoring Defense.


It pains me to agree with Pirate, but I think you proved his point. He didn’t say Aranda was bad, he said Aranda was “a mid DC”. The numbers you posted bare that out.

Not being an arse. I’m genuinely curious.


The trajectory of these 2 programs under the current coaching staff is definitely separating.

Not to mention with the offense blowing the doors off of a lot of teams you're going to give up some yards and points with reserves playing late in games

And that defense turned it on whenever they had to. EVERY TIME. At the end of the season, at money time, they dominated Aggie, Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson.

All the O haters will still want Aranda who is way overated even as a DC. Glad we did not hire him.

I’d take Aranda as DC over almost any other DC in the country.

This was NOT the point of the OP. I'd love him as DC, but NOT as HC.

I’ll be an arse because it’s fricking dumb. Our d has been dogshit under Kelly. Who cares what he’s doing at baylor. At LSU no one made better 2nd half defensive adjustments
