This thread and this statement are completely ridiculous. Kiffin had a hand in the scheme of defense against Ole Miss. He stated that much in the halftime interview. We came out the second half much more aggressive, and it showed as we shut them out until their last possession. Baker is a phenomenal DC and how soon you all forget what we had before he got here.
Our offense was also completely stagnant in the first half. Had we sustained ANY drives, there’s at least one less TD for ole Miss.

Defense was awful in the 1st half

- gave up 289 yards of offense
- gave up 7 of 9 on 3rd down to a team that was converting 35% coming in
- forced 1 punt
- gave up a 75 yard drive in under 1:50 to end the half after we cut the score to 10
- gave up a 20 yard score on 3rd and 12
- gave up 4 straight scoring drives



How is any of that good?

People keep saying Baker can’t stop a running QB. Go look at the stats from Saturday’s game. Chambliss didn’t beat us with his feet, but with his arm.
And yes, I know he scored a running TD, but I think he only and about 30 yards rushing Saturday

He did a horrible job coaching this game. Absolutely horrible. I don't care what copium you're on, that was just not smart football. In fact, the way LSU played makes you question if Baker had money against LSU. They played so soft with 0 adjustments. Here comes a more aggressive scheme second half and it works. It worked too well, so what does Baker do? Go soft again to give the game to Chambliss. Investigate that man for betting against LSU because it doesn't honestly make any sense.

I have a better one for you: Name one big match up against a good offensive team Baker has done a very good job at LSU? I can't think of a single one. His defenses shite the bed in just about every big game with an offense that has a pulse. He's getting paid more money than most HCs in the country. LSU can go get someone way better for that money like Auburn's DC. I'm not looking at one game I'm looking at body of work and body of work says this guy can't coach the big games for LSU. It's a consistent theme.

How do you make 0 adjustments but in next sentence you say he makes adjustments and it works. Lane said the first half soft plan was his idea. He took ownership. You are consistently one of the most wrong posters on this board. You know as much football as a 4 year old.

No doubt Chambliss is one of the best in the country. However, there were two or three head scratching defensive alignments I hope BB would want back. That 1/3rds defensive alignment that he called at the end of the first half probably cost LSU the game. That was a pure crap decision.

that was like 7 plays after spears got hurt and would not have been open if the safety didn't start trying to come down and stop the run

Yes you can. 24 points against Ole Miss isn’t 24 points against Kentucky.

He didn’t use the exotic zone blitzes enough. Those plays rattled OM.

What are you talking about? CJ Jimcoily fricked up on the touch down. They went after him whenever he was in the game, and his eyes were in the backfield when they should have been elsewhere.

Every single analyst who has a base level knowledge of the sport has said the same thing. shite, Kirk said it on the broadcast.

Baker is the most overrated DC in the country earnings wise

I'm not one to rag on coaches. Sometimes you run into a buzz saw. Sometimes you go up against the best QB in the country. But the gamelan for the 1st half was bad. It shouldn't take an entire half for an elite DC to figure that out.

True but he also made it way easier for Chambliss with that soft arse zone with ten yard cushions. Slot and tight end were open all night against that look and he went back to it on Ole Miss’ last drive….

Amen...24 year old Chambliss knew he had to find another year of college ball.... Mississippi judge gave it to him.
Chambliss may win the Heisman but I don't see him as a great, long term NFL QB.

“The TD before the half had nothing to do with the scheme.”

Just like op conveniently forgetting the first half exists, you’re conveniently forgetting the 7 plays and 55 yards given up on that drive prior to the TD before the half that had everything to do with scheme.

I have a hard time believing he's going to win the Heisman after the Witch Hunt they just did on LSU considering all the facts behind Shameless I mean this guy was sitting there talking about Praise Jesus and then drop the F-bomb likewise he got on a stand in Mississippi court and said things that were not supported by the medical documentation at all I thought there was more to the Heisman award than just performance

F TC. he should not even be eligible to play had our POS commish challenged and threatened his TRO and injunction like he did ours.

personally if i am LSU i take the lawsuit backup and destroy sankey since that worthless scum let chambliss get away with it.

i wish judge jorden would get sankey for contempt and jail his arse. F the SEC. let them kick us out.
