Maybe if Baker coached here 16 years ago and was coaching at an FCS school today.

Married to a former LSU Soccer Player? Sounds like a perfect fit to me and has LB coaching experience.

DC/LB: Baker
DL: Davis
DB: Raymond

I get the sexy turnaround at Mizzou.

But Matt House had one good year too his first year here. Bit wary of a 1 year success guys even though he’s probably the “best” candidate “available”

There have been zero rumors out of lsu with everything going on. I’d imagine it’s a smoke screen. Kelly is not Oger. I do like Baker but with him being pushed as a candidate makes me think it’s not him. Unless it’s being leaked by Missouri

Not saying you are wrong, but why would this be a smoke screen? I just don’t see what benefit LSU would get out of this leaking.

Respectfully, why are LSU fans so high on Blake Baker?


I am with you. I understand Missouri’s defense improved in that one year, but so did their offense. And when your offense keeps the ball away from ur opponent, ur defense always has better stats.

I am not opposed, but are we convinced he is the best? I want the best DC we can get.

I want Blake Baker badly. He is an aggressive play caller and a great recruiter.


100% agree. He is super aggressive.
He may not have the talent on defense but his players go after the offense. You have to make perfect plays to move on Missouri.

They were all over Georgia. Not enough talent but they never backed down

It was better than this year but I wouldn’t exactly say it was a good year.

If this indeed is a smokescreen, its likely Baker's agent promoting it to get him even more money than the recent extension.

How do the buy outs work since he just signed an extension? Would he have a buy out clause in his contract as an assistant coach? Mizzu fans don't think we can afford him apperntly from what Im seeing.

who had a good scheme for our steam rolling offense once it got rolling. The first game was an anomaly. The Gumps were the only team with a good adjustment and it was to concuss JD out of the game.

Exactly. I’m curious if Minter from Michigan is going to be the DC hire. Maybe he and the DL Coach from Michigan come down? Be fun to see how it all shakes out.

Didn’t everyone give up around 49 to LSU? I mean, we had the best offense in the country this year

He sucked at Miami and they were more than happy to give him to O. LSU rolled over him earlier this year

Perk would look pretty awesome in that star backer role in Bakers scheme.

Our defense was so bad this year it's hard to tell what kind of scheme would fit the personnel though.

It will be interesting to see which direction Kelly wants to take the defense.

You have to assume the new DC gets some kids to follow in the portal. NC State had a really good CB enter yesterday and that might be telling assuming BK is looking for a packaged deal.
