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.

The only thing at stake in this situation is school pride. Nothing else. We don’t like losing a coach to another SEC school because it’s a kick in the nuts. Otherwise it is inconsequential.

You were a .500 team until you let a different guy call plays. A single guy calling plays can make all the difference in the world.
