Baker

Pros: results

Cons:
-mobile qb’s have torn him up with his aggressive style through most of his career
-worked for guys like Kelly and Drink and Kiffin who run their program. Even though those are offensive coaches they CEO the program and I’m not sure how much experience baker has gotten in those areas. Not to say he can’t do it, it’s just a big question mark and with NIL, it’s less about X’s and O’s as ever. The successful coaches in today’s era know how to manage at a high level

Weiss Jr

Pros:
-again, results. His offenses put up points and stats

Cons:
- same as baker but even more so. He reports to Kiffin who clearly has final say. Like Baker, doesn’t mean he can’t do it, but the ability to lead an entire program has to be a question mark.


Both these guys could get looked at for big time P4 jobs which is where my concern would lie if I were those programs. If they go to Memphis or Tulane or wherever, obviously way less of a concern than a Florida state who thinks they should be in the playoff.

I am sure every major program with a job opening will read, and take notes, of the concerns and doubts of one of Tigerdroppings.com's biggest idiot posters.

What’s there to discuss? No one here knows how much Baker or Weis do on the CEO front.

that is literally a question mark for every single assistant looking for his first head coaching gig.


nobody really knows how a guy will handle it until he's put in that position.

Yes but I think more so for these guys because of who they work for.

It was clear, for example, Will Stein was running the Oregon offense autonomously. I don’t know that baker or certainly Weiss have any real management power at LSU

So you’re telling me two guys who have never been head coaches, people question how they would handle running their own program?

Wow, this is some in depth analysis. I had never considered the fact that the coordinators defer to the head coaches, or that the head coaches would have more duties and responsibilities than the assistant cosches who report to them

I don't understand how it's clear that Will Stein was running the offense autonomously but Baker is not doing the same on the defensive side of the ball. Both are successful, respected coordinators at huge programs working on the opposite side of the ball from their head coaches.

Kirby smart has no shot at being a successful head coach. Everyone knows saban runs everything on defense.

Just another run of the mill stupid thread from one of the biggest morons on this website.

Vince Lombardi wasn’t a sure thing ,neither was Nick or Ryan Day.Any asst. coach hired will have question marks no matter who they are.
