Apparently one of the job requirements there is that your first and last name must each have exactly 5 letters.

Nifty Point

Chasing the 3-3-5 stack. Very en vogue right now in certain circles - both teams in the Big 12 title game this year ran it. Mason ran something closer to our 3-down Tite set and could not nail it down like we do. They never made the transition from Knowles' 4-2-5 and Mason did not have Aranda's (or Roberts') defensive mind.

For what it's worth, Georgia runs the Tite set Aranda brought with him from LSU. I still think it's the best/most versatile defensive formation in college football and gives you the most options in the most places. Even in a disappointing down year we were still 4th in the league in total defense.
