- He has never been a winning defensive coach in the Hawaii Bowl

- 2003 Houston lost to Hawaii, LB coach
- 2008 Hawaii lost to Note Dame, DL coach
- 2010 Hawaii lost to Tulsa, DC

Tulsa scored 24 points off of six UH turnovers in the first half, including two interception returns for touchdowns.

I know the temptation of a Head Coaching gig is huge but still why Baylor? This is the Big 12 conference where offense is king. Outside of TCU nobody plays defense. Not saying he will fail but this conference is brutal for a defensive minded head coach. Hope he is the exception since he was one of the few defensive gurus in this modern age of high powered offenses. Wish him well and hope he has a long leash to put his style of football on display. This is the guy who keep Trevor Lawrence off balance by reworking his defensive guys into an unbelievable combination. Bear in mind Tilpit played hurt most of this season. The guys drafted by the NFL from LSU and Wisconsin are due to his efforts.

Good luck Dave. You were always my favorite at Hawaii. I rated him higher than Smith, Rolo, and even McMackin.

Baylor Football Coach Dave Aranda’s Bizarre Approach To Practice Leaves His Team Exposed And Unprepared
Story by Grayson Weir • 1w

Dave Aranda took over as head coach of Baylor football four years ago. His short tenure with the program been a whirlwind and his approach to practice may play a big role.

Aranda does not give his young players an opportunity to develop while giving priority to 1s and 2s.

After a slow, unusual start, Aranda led Baylor to a 12-2 season with a Sugar Bowl win over a very talented Ole Miss team in 2021. There was all kinds of buzz around what the team could become.
It was an immediate upward trajectory that came crashing down with a 6-7 season and bowl loss in 2022. The Bears are 3-6 through the first nine games of 2023. Not ideal.

Dave Aranda was considered to be one of the rising superstars in the industry. His recent record and a new story from former tight end Christoph Henle might explain why that is quickly becoming a lost narrative.

From another source:

Team period at practice is where the 1’s run Baylor’s offense and face the 2’s who run opponent’s defense. The same goes for the other side of the ball.

There is no true scout team. 2’s do not run Baylor’s scheme. Half the team stands on the sideline.

— Drake C. Toll
NFL teams run practices with similar structure. However, creates a clear issue on the college football level.

Young athletes don’t get any reps until they are listed first or second on the depth chart. There is no opportunity for them to develop.

To make things worse, if a first-team defensive player gets injured during a game, his replacement spent the entire week running the opponent’s system. He didn’t get any reps in Aranda’s scheme.
