Blake Baker roller coaster is emotionally exhausting. Is this just modern-day football?

It’s beyond frustrating for a DC to look like a top 3 DC, arguably the best in the nation capable of being a head coach one day to just looking beyond lackluster and getting embarrassed on any given Saturday.

Is consistency simply nonexistent in the modern era of college football?

Yall put way too much into beating Mississippi State with a WALK-ON Qb and a horrible Auburn team. Never learn Baker fanboys.

People love his defense. I really don’t get the inconsistency.

I mean at what point is it on the players as well? That big catch and run that led to the 17-13 TD, the LSU player got beat like a drum. I realize these coaches are getting paid ridiculous amounts of money, but there is only so much a coach can do during a game.

This is the new era of CFB due to transfer portal

Maybe I’m in denial but I think this is spot on.

The defense was the only reason this game was close. How you can watch today's game and bitch about the defense is wild to me. The offense literally did nothing today in terms of scoring

The last 2 TDs were short fields thanks to ineptitude on offense and special teams. I don't know what else you can ask of a defense when you go for it on 4th and 10 at your own 19 with plenty of time left.

Can’t blame the defense. Constant short field and held them to 285 yards. Red zone offense killed us

He’s not to blame for tonight even though again he wasn’t impressive. Kiffin made crucial game management errors, that’s the main culprit. Playcalling in the red zone was second then we can go to Baker pissing his pants in crunch time as 3rd.

Blake Baker literally had zero to do with this loss.. I sometimes wonder what game you people are watching. Are you on drugs or drunk?

Bama was held to 120 yards less than their average and a TD less than their average. Our special teams spotted them 2 TDs. The defense was not the problem in this game.

If you can't spot the problem in this game, then you don't have a brain.

Wtf is wrong with you people. Are you 10 years old???

I mean give Alabama the ball with great field position over and over again and they probably will score a few.

Why are we talking about Baker when we scored 13 points?

Blake Baker is the equivalent of a chess player with an ELO of 1200 that looks great against beginners but is completely overmatched by advanced players.

He is good. He’s not great. If he looked like Mark Mangino instead of a fit young former player, he’s not getting a $4M/yr deal.

Kiffin shot himself twice in the first half.

Whoever you want to blame, we’re good against .500 teams & that’s about it.

I don’t care about defensive rankings. Look at what UGA is doing to Ole Miss. what Tennessee is doing to Kentucky and what they did to Alabama. Blake Baker is elite against awful offenses.
