David Aranda as possibly UM's next DC?

Advertisement
We played them this year and our DC kept talking about how he liked the way they play defense. Kept saying he wished we had 11 Borlands on D
 
So D'onofrio goes from fielding 2 historically bad defenses in consecutive years to a head coach job?
 
Living out here in Utah I can say the Utah State people were totally bummed when he left . They did have a very good D last year here . Would totally give him a shot.
 
I think we need to stop bleeping around and bring someone from the NFL.

Two rules about coaching hires:

1) Coaches hire coaches who have some prior association with them. For example, one played for the other; formerly were
fellow assistants on a previous staff; personal ties,etc...In other words, they hail from the same coaching tree.

2) Coaches move on to other jobs when: they are getting a promotion (ie., from positional coach to coordinator), they
are getting a significant bump in salary; they have strong ties to the school and/or area; they are going to work for
a head coach whose strength is on the opposite of the ball (hence, he has alot of autonomy); he has been fired or
is about to be fired.

This Aranda is a solid coach....but his situation does NOT meet any of the criteria above.
LOL at him wanting to leave dairy country for sunshine.
Da fugg does that mean?

What's so crazy about UM making a run at this guy if/when D'Onofrio moves on hopefully in the winter? The guy runs a kilker 3-4 scheme that produces top defernses evern with subpar talent while at Hawaii and Utah state, an now he is doing it again at Wis.

This. Panaros, I love what you bring the this board but sometimes it seems like you are just drawing names out of a hat (this applies to recruiting too). Golden isnt dumping D'onofrio. Not this year atleast. There's no way a guy like Al, who preaches loyality and 'sticking the the process' turns on his best friend and a guy who rose with him at Temple like that. Especially after enduring the NCAA mess together. NO WAY!!

Look at Golden's hires as a HC @ UM. Besides Mario (who he got to know when he first got to UM), Kehoe (who basically begged to get back at UM), and McDonald (not sure of their connection), Golden either worked previously with coaches he hired or had someone else on his staff who could vouch for them (this is how Coley and Carroll ended up here). I dont see a screnario where AG hires someone outside of his network. Remember, he coached under JoePa and Al Groh. There are plenty of coaches in that network.

I started a thread about hoping UVA tanks sooo bad the they have no choice but to fire MIKE LONDON. I truly believe this is our best chance at seeing a significant change with the defensive play-calling. LONDON replaced GOLDEN as UVA's DC and ran the same D (except a more aggressive version). Both coached under Al Groh. LONDON's speciality is working with the DL. It would be an amazing hire and doesnt seem unrealistic. Plus, 'fan-favorite' Jethro would be shown the door.

I pray everyday that UVA get destroyed against VT next week... like by 70+....

Why not a coach who built dominating defenses for the Hurricanes and won national championships under Jimmy Johnson..Why not a coach who went with Johnson to the Dallas Cowboys and built dominating defenses who won Super Bowls..Why not a guy who was head coach of the Chicago Bears and the Pitt Panthers? Why not a guy who is coaching the Tampa Bucs Special Teams ? Why not a guy who loves South Florida like Dave Wannstedt? Why not a former family member who probably knows more about stopping an offense than any coach out there, a guy like Dave Wannstedt-----"We need the return of the Stach"

Actually Aranda had no ties to Patterson when he left hawaii for Utah St, they met at a high. School camp in Hawaii. Also Patterson is a defensive coach, he was promoted from DC at Head Coach Utah St an the first call he made was to Aranda. Aranda wants to climb the ladder in coaching and UM is the 8 th best school in country to coach for. I am just throwing Aranda out there as a coach who could be a quick defensive turn around guru to fix UM's defense with the projected roster we will have next year.

Are we really paying Dorito 500K or more?

UM is a private skool that does not formally report coaching salaries. That said, ESPN and USA Today have good back-channel sources. ESPN reported that James Coley is making $500K. It was me who made the assumption on this board that Dorito is making the same. My guess is that everyone is quoting me from this extrapolation. I cant imagine it being too far off.
