jknighton 317 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Had a bad year this past season, but overall his defenses have always been stout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,576 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 It makes sense. He needs someone he can turn his defense over to 100%. let’s support the hires and see what happens 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were last year I think everyone would be very very happy. Wish we had gotten CK JUST because he likely would've pulled in Russaw and Smith.

jknighton 317 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 He deserves a pass from last year due to his overall body of work. Solid hire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamZero77 1,931 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Baylor HC Dave Aranda was a tier 1 DC. He was DC for LSU in 2019 when they finished 15-0. If Dave Aranda thought enough of Ron Roberts to name him DC of his team, that's enough for me. Roberts also has head coaching experience at Delta State and Southeastern Louisiana.

Of course we all know the Big 12 does not play defense. Hope he is successful here. That would be my same argument for an OC from the Big 12. It’s laid out and here’s Hugh’ s chance to prove his mettle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenlee36 1,708 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Fired from Baylor? Jeez. Let’s try to spin it. Give me a thumbs down if you agree that this is a terrible hire!

Yeah - after losing our DC to a pay cut and to OkSU last year, we'd have been thrilled with this hire as opposed to Coach Schmedding. I am more impressed with his resume than Arnett. Can he recruit? We'll see, but I've been concerned with the DC play-calling. He checks the boxes for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defense in 2021 helped them win the Big 12 Title. They held every opponent under 30 points for the year and were 1 of only 3 teams in the nation to do that. His defense stopped Kiffin and Ole Miss to win The Sugar Bowl. Lincoln Riley and his Oklahoma offense didn't have a passing touchdown against his defense. That was the 1st time in 65 games and since 2014 that Oklahoma hasn't had a passing TD in a game. I also believe all that was in his 1st, maybe 2nd year as Baylor's DC. But yeah, I guess you can spin things any way you want them. For some Auburn fans we are thrilled to just be out of the fog that this program has been in the last few years. On a day when we announced our coordinators and we have kids flipping to commit here, some like yourself like to find the negative in everything. I guess it does take all kinds. WDE to you anyway.

There's no way to inject pure positivity into hiring 2 coordinators who have both been recently fired from their previous jobs, but like @TeamZero77said, it's an upgrade over what we've seen the past 2 seasons. There's some unknown with Roberts, but he's a clear upgrade over over Mason and Schmedding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
