Dave Aranda did a terrific job leading LSU football’s defense over the last several years.
But losing Aranda to Baylor (where he’ll serve as the Bears’ head coach) wasn’t exactly a major loss for the Tigers.
That because Ed Orgeron brought Bo Pelini back to Baton Rouge to lead LSU’s defense.
Pelini, who will move the Tigers from a 3-4 defense to a base 4-3 defense, is exactly what the Tigers need after their championship run in 2019.
Aranda was a quiet coach who brought a mostly cerebral approach to the game. He never let his emotions get too high.
