It didn’t take long for Dave Aranda to be missed by LSU. Aranda was the highly successful defensive coordinator at LSU. He was instrumental in their betting on College Football national championship. As a result, Aranda became the Baylor coach after the Tigers’ 2019 national championship. LSU has seen its defense rapidly decline since Aranda left. However, Aranda has his own problems at Baylor. This Saturday Baylor is facing a TCU program that’s rapidly declined into inconsistency. Gary Patterson is the most successful head coach in TCU history. But 20 years there and a changing game have flummoxed him.
