*** Official Dave Aranda Thread ***

[Irse]

The OC is going to be the new USU HC. We're so backwards. It takes us weeks to hire a HC and USU takes less than a day. Wisconsin never even have their press conference yet to announce Anderson as their HC and Utah State is able to hire his replacement.

Unfortunately, the last time that UH tried to fast track a head coach hiring, we got Mack!

Thing is.. if we still had Mack we'd still have Rolo and Aranda. Mack would retire and we'd have a jun ken po between the two.. Now Aranda is heading to Wisconsin to be their OC. Rolo is learning to master the Pistol and will beyond what UH can afford in a year or two.

Go to TTU and a rookie coach or to an experienced coach at Cal? Hmmmmm.....

Wonder which one is offering more $$? A cash strapped Cal school or the Alma mater, Texas school?
I remember Greg McMackin going there to be the DC back in 2000 for a whole lot more than he was making here.

Cal's head coach makes 2.3 million.
I thought Cal Berkley and Texas Tech were relatively established (donor-wise) football schools.
I would think Dave Aranda will improve whichever program he goes to next. I'd advise Cal.

Looks like he's following Anderson to Wisconsin.

Pretty good set up.

[EITSwarrior]

Makes you wonder what Chow was thinking.

This is also a reflection on Manoa management decisions too.

Wisonsin hasn't played anybody of note yet but has pitched two straight shutouts.

Came across this article, it mentions the packers sending coaches to Wisconsin to chat with Aranda about defending the read option... http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers/ci_239 ... ion-debate

That's the truth, feasting on cupcakes
UMass went 1-11 last year in their first year at D1
Tennessee Tech went 3-8 last year in the FCS Ohio Conference

Let's see how Aranda does next week vs AZSt and then the start of the Big10 season

[BigWave96744]

Aranda's defense gave up 468 total yards to Arizona St.
Not too good considering Sacramento St gave up 523 total yards to Arizona State, in the Sun Devils home opener

Yep. They struggled. It'll be interesting to see how they do the rest of the year.

Aranda was reared under McMackin's defensive philosophy which I believe was to place less emphasis on the yards yielded and to focus more on the points and first downs prevented, as well as the turnovers - turnovers being 3 or 4 and out, fumbles, and interceptions.
His defense is new to the 3-4, but they are extremely athletic. It will be fun to see, I'm sure.

Wisconsin exceeded wiseguy expectations in this game.

This was an offensive failure. Whisky stopped a coupla 4th down conversions by ASU and held them to 2.8 ypc rushing.
They also forced a fumble and picked off ASU. Don't forget that Hawaii was one of the take-away leaders of the nation under Aranda. At Texas Tech, Hawaii, and Utah State Aranda has always exceeded expectations.
