Coaching career
2012, Aranda was the Defensive Coordinator for one year Utah State Aggies under Gary Andersen. In 2012, Aranda was a nominee for the Broyles Award as the Aggies defense finished in the top 15 of all FBS schools in all four major defensive categories; seventh in scoring defense (15.4 points per game), 13th in rushing defense (113.8 yards per game), eighth in pass-efficiency defense (14 interceptions, 12 touchdowns, 54.1% completion rate, 5.7 yards per attempt) and 14th in total defense (322.1 ypg).[2][3]
When Gary Andersen was hired as the new Wisconsin Badgers head coach after the 2012 football season Aranda followed him to Wisconsin, turning down offers from Texas Tech and California.[4] Aranda changed the Badgers' base defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and developed a more aggressive defense, putting pressure on the quarterback.[5] His first year as Defensive Coordinator the Badgers defense ranked in the top 20 in all four major defensive categories; scoring defense (6th), total defense (7th), rushing defense (5th) and passing defense (17th).[6]
Week 10 of the 2014 football season Aranda was named Coordinator of the Week by Athlon Sports[7] after his Wisconsin Badgers defense shutout Rutgers Scarlet Knights 37-0. It was Wisconsin's first road shutout since 1998.[8]
