When Baker inevitably heads to greener pastures?

I feel like it will be Kiffin as he was given Co-DC title. Any other candidates?

Chris Kiffin would be a nepotistic disaster. We need a proven P4 defensive coordinator.

Or perhaps he was given the co-dc title to justify being able to pay him more.

I think Lane is smart enough and wants to win that he wouldn’t just give it to his brother unless he truly believed that he was the absolute right choice.

It also puts you in a really bad spot if your the head coach and you have a family member as oc/dc because if that side drops off you will have to fire him or be fired yourself. If the family member stays as a co or position coach there isn’t a ton of heat to fire them.

I hope not. He has like one year of DC experience at FAU.

I really have no idea about this. I also have no idea if he would be any good. You would hope he learned something from Monty. Monty was good at his job and adapted well to changing offenses over his career.

Nobody knows what kind of DC CK would be,having said that the pressure on LK to win would make him go outside the program and hire the best he can.

Sheppard's defense is absolute dog shite this year.

Its the definition of “just a title.”

Does anyone think Baker isn’t running the defense on his own?

Next DC will definitely be an outside hire

Dave or PROOT would be excellent hires.

Aranda and Venables would be top two calls.
Then kick the tires on Jim Knowles and Phil Parker.

Lane can do what he wants on offense, but dc needs to be an elite hire. No nepotism
