Perspective i.e. Blake Baker

Some substantial silliness on these boards regarding one Blake Baker. Can we all agree.?.?.
1. Baker is a good Coach.
2. Baker left Mizzou. He previously left LSU. In the future, possibly near, he'll leave LSU again.
3. Good programs lose good assistants for a variety of reasons. The better the program, the more coveted the assistants.
4. Drink, like all successful coaches, knew losing assistants was possible and certainly has a list of potential replacements.
5. If Baker has success at LSU, a HC position will be available sooner, rather than later.
I wish Baker nothing but success. Good luck, young man! And good luck to LSU...despite a few juveniles who post here, it's a good school & program with great fans!

Let’s not get carried away.
Overall, good post, though.

Yea, I mean. I've had a chance to sleep on it and while I am bummed that we lost him to LSU. I do wish him and his family nothing but the best.
Some perspective as well is always good:
1. Baker is good, but his defense was not even in the top 25 nationally. He came in at 33.
2. Baker was previously relieved from two other jobs for less than stellar performances. (Louisiana Tech & Miami)
3. There is more to a football team than a single guy calling plays. Yes, I am sure he was impactful, but he is also only as good as the players on the field and their ability to perform his vision.
4. We can use that 1m that LSU is now going to pay us and go after someone who quite possibly will be better than Baker.
M-I-Z

Yes, this.
Many in our fan base were unhappy when he wasn’t retained two years ago, because he did a great job with our linebackers. But the new DC was a linebackers coach, so…
He did a great job with Mizzou and Mizzou had a great season and seems poised to have another great season next year.
LSU NEEDS this. Some energy and a good coach, cause Matt House was just incredibly and surprisingly awful. Our entire defense seemed to have poor technique, poor leverage, took poor angles and we didn’t seem to disguise anything. That’s not LSU football.
Baker has a challenge on his hands to turn this shite around

Imagine being another DC and hearing mizzou is willing to pay 2.5 with low expectations.

Regardless of your knowledge it was a mistake to fire Baker in the first place. Kudos to Kelly for correcting the mistake!

thank you for this. I don't get the pure hatred from some fans.
Nearly this exact thing happened to LSU just a couple of weeks ago when our OC took a job at ND for a little more pay(I'm sure LSU would have matched).
But why did he really go? He has family ties to that area and wanted to go home. Pretty much a mirror situation to Baker.

I mean, sooner or later, we all leave our jobs because nothing above ground is forever so uh yeah sure.

I'm not a Kansas fan so Mizzou doesn't move the needle for me one way or the other. You're Midwestern. My parents were multi-generational Midwestern Yankees. LSU has hired a few Yankees over the years, including 2 of the last 3 head coaches. What I'm saying is, sure you're weird Yankees but that doesn't really phase me. Embrace it.

Baw, several of our defensive starters took shots at Matt House on Twitter as he was shown the door. Not sure what Baker is going to be able to do, but damn our defensive unit had gotten toxic. Glad to have him on board.

He was not retained by LSU. He did not just leave so to say he will leave LSU again is stupid. Nice try tho. Desperate.
Posted on 1/6/24 at 10:53 am to Monsieur Morrel
You got one thing wrong. Baker never “left” LSU. He wasn’t retained by the new staff.
Posted on 1/6/24 at 10:54 am to Monsieur Morrel
Def alter. Never met any Mizz fans that talk reason.

OP is solid. Appreciate what he did at Mizzou and wish him well. Drink has to find someone to keep it rolling.

This board is a “Rant” for anonymous screen names to rant, act tough, be wrong, be stupid and be horny.
So take your caring and respectful post and shove it up your bum
