Jim Cregg.

Why must everyone think it's Gregg?

Because they are a fan of the miracle on ice team or fat dead umpires.

I’m not sure how Pelini would adjust to the style of today’s game, but for what it’s worth,

LSU rank in total defense:
2005 - 3rd
2006 - 3rd
2007 - 3rd

2008 - 37th (his 1st year removed)

We’ve only had a defense rank higher than 3rd once since then and that was the 2011 year where we ranked 2nd. That defense ranked 2nd gave up 265 ypg and Pelini’s best year at LSU we ranked 3rd but only gave up 242 ypg.

When Pelini took over at Nebraska their defense was ranked 113th in total defense giving up 476 ypg and by his 2nd year they finished as the 7th ranked team in total defense giving up only 271 ypg.

Also, I saw this the other day:

LSU total defense since Aranda took over:
2016 - 5th
2017- 12th
2018 - 30th
2019 - 32nd

Not taking a shot at Aranda, just putting up a comparison.

I don’t know that we’re actually hiring Pelini and if we do, I don’t know how to feel about it yet, but none the less I thought those numbers were interesting.

Some, maybe a lot of that is more a function of SEC West power offenses. If the rest of the nation can’t keep up, we will slide back regardless just on averages.

BTW saw Aranda's presser today and he took some back handed swipes at LSU.

I missed it. Can you elaborate?

We did well with coahes who got second chances i.e. O and E. On the surface Pelini doesn't sound like a good hire to me. O must see something. He hired Jim Gregg and Brady hope he keeps the streak of good hires going.

BTW saw Aranda's presser today and he took some back handed swipes at LSU. He's a dick good riddance.

What?! He said he learned more under Coach O than anyone.... looked a bit emotional too.

How about former Saints DC Gregg Williams? Who is he with now?

Kiki ate some shrooms and he's quite paranoid right now.

Wouldn't mind watching him do the crotch chop after stopping Bama at the goal line for the victory.

What did Aranda say?

Kal-El012 · Jan 21, 2020

Bo? Really? That’ll be like Matt Canada Part Deux. what’s he done for Youngstown St. lately?

I’d be interested in interviewing him. He supposedly runs those blitz packages that Venables ran, but I’ve never really watched much Iowa St.

Dob't know if he's on the radar, wants to be on the radar or if coach O has him on the radar? Particularly now with Pellini talk. However, the dude can coach a D and it would be a huge jump up from Iowa St. I trust Coach O to go get a high level DC, and Pellini was very good during his time at LSU, but I'm on the fence about him as a hire
