Fired from LSU

Are you completely braindead?

How did Blake Baker wind up with a promotion in title at Mizzou? He was LB coach under Daronte Jones. You really live in a reality where Mizzou made a fired LB coach their defensive coordinator and gave him a pay bump?

Holy shite.

Amazing. You don’t know shite about Baker. Kelly fired him from LSU.

Mizzou hired Baker as a safeties coach. Our DC went to the NFL, so he was promoted because he was the only one on staff with DC experience.

He was never hired to be the DC

He only got the job out of desperation after Steve Wilks left for the NFL late.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

He’s failed everywhere except when he’s been under Drink. Again, the facts

The story is simple. Blake Baker knows who is valuable on that staff and is building the defense his way.

Baker was getting attention at LSU, got a raise at Mizzou, got a promotion at Mizzou, got a raise at LSU

That’s a consistent upward trajectory. Y’all are big mad

Drink can make another safeties coach a top end DC so Kelly can overpay us for them again and promptly ruin them. Rinse repeat to the tune of millions

This game was the final straw for Baker as DC at Miami. He was stripped of play calling and shortly after left for LSU as an LB coach.

Yes, change my mind with stats from a single game… from the stop… before the stop… before the last stop lol.

ETA: Have you been made aware of what LSU was doing in 2019?

It wasn’t a single game. It was a few years at Miami. Diaz had to keep interfering in Baker’s defense and finally had enough. He was demoted, then went to LSU for a year before being fired by LSU. Then Mizzou hired him as a safeties coach. The DC left before the season forcing Drink to promote him.

Drink is a Coach Whisperer.

Miami fans REJOICE! Blake Baker leaves for LSU job

You won’t convince me, but if you keep trying hard enough you may convince yourself.

I don’t need to. You’ll see on the field. Baker succeeded under Drink’s oversight after failing at Miami under Manny Diaz and getting fired by LSU.
