re: Why Did LSU Fire Blake Baker Two Years Ago?

Well you guys seem excited. There truly is no where to go but up for LSU’s defense. I still can’t remember of a single time a program fired and rehired a guy like this though. I wonder if any defensive recruits are asking WTF?

---

Technically he was fired but not really. It’s not like he worked under Kelly and he fired him and then rehired him years later. He never worked under him.

Guess it’s similar to when a new governor takes over. They usually put their people in top positions.

This whole thread is example 4,568,677 of why there can be zero actual discussion on this board. I guarantee you that most people on here were not familiar with the minutia of all the Ed Orgeron era firings and Brian Kelly era hirings. And when someone asks about it you immediately get in your feelings and rally around yourselves. You have a massive circle jerk and then high five.

Was LSU always like this? I don’t remember LSU fans being like this in the 1990s and early 2000s.

The fact so many of you started shite talking threads to Mizzou fans, who are generally the most well mannered fans on here, immediately after hiring an assistant coach just two years after firing him speaks volumes of what LSU has become. Not only hiring him but making him the highest paid assistant in the history of the sport despite only having been a coordinator for two years is weird. Because we have never, ever seen a coach have a couple of good years, get a huge contract, and then crash and burn. Matt House was a home run, can’t fail hire just two years ago.

But you can’t just be happy about hiring what is hopefully an upgraded defense, you have to act like overzealous assholes about it. No, you have to try to rub Mizzou’s face in it. Mizzou has apparently become your equal now. And it is not just one or two posters, it seems to be the whole fanbase this time. Even some of the “good” posters like lastfan and wolfhound have piled on. Not only is this firing/rehiring weird, the response to it is as well. But I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise. Management doesn’t just allow it, they actively participate in it. Hell, those alters are probably the worst ones. And a mob has a lot of momentum once they all get pointed in the same direction. This board is masterful at directing traffic.

The irony is that next year LSU’s defense will be much improved. And the offense will be hot garbage. And Brian Kelly will once again have a 9-3 regular season. Just good enough to keep his seat from getting too hot. But not good enough to keep you all from being so frustrated about being so close. But like always, there will be next year.

You can downvote away all you want, but you know this is the truth.

But that was over a decade long saga, with five stops in between, that was responsible for hundreds of threads and oh so much drama.

It was wrong to let him go.

Go find another board then you weak baby back bama bitch

Playing the poor me victim when you started a thread that was an obvious troll at best then got embarrassed is actually hilarious.

I actually did give you a “legitimate discussion” response and you doubled and tripled down.

Why do you think Matt House failed so miserably at LSU? The guy had been solid his whole career up until then.

And don’t act like you needed this thread to shite talk. There have been a plethora of random shite talking threads started by LSU fans in the last 12 hours to troll Mizzou. Threads like this one by, oh look, you.

You don’t even need an excuse to start talking shite, it is just your default setting.

Congrats on making Blake Baker the highest paid assistant coach in the history of the sport. Record contracts, cough Jimbo Fisher, always motivate coaches to greatness.

It's a valid point.

LSU's new DC previously held the same position at Lousiana Tech and their new OC was assistant head coach on the same team. So they got that going for them

It has to do with the amount of mercenaries on the team. Some coaches can handle them, while others cannot. House will succeed elsewhere with less divas on the roster.

The players hated him and didn’t believe in him or his system.

Even outside of personal feelings it seemed like he was unable to teach the players how to effectively run his game plan.

I have no idea what happened anywhere else so can’t really comment.
