Just a title to justify pay. Baker calls the shots.

Preparing him to takeover as DC when Baker leaves to be a HC.

Sounds good to me

It's a title not an actual position.

I can assure you he won't be calling the defense.

It's all about justifying a salary we've agreed to pay to get alone to BR.

I am a little surprised by it, but we all know this is just a title.

Not a bad thing, I think. Maybe it's a preparatory move so he can learn Baker's defensive mindset and be prepared to seamlessly take over if Baker gets a HC gig he cannot turn down.

Their dad was one of the best defensive minds in football.

All I know is if your Dad was Monte Kiffin you probably know some defense

Maybe he knows how to stop a mobile qb and that will be his contribution because we have yet to see that under Baker.

aTm's QB destroyed us twice, Milroe last year and Trinidad this year. We did stuff the hell out of Sellers though and contained Mateer pretty well too. Sick of aTm running all over us...have to stop that next year.

If I was Baker I’d leave asap…how would you feel if some one with zero experience gets co credit for your work. Total BS.

Why would be a shock? Titles are given to get more money. Hankton is Co-OC do you think he ever called plays at one point in his LSU career? You think Baker would stay if he had to relinquish some of his duties?
