He is the highest paid defensive coordinator in the country and his wins this year are against the following QBs:

- Chris Vizzina (now benched)

- La Tech

- McNeese

- Marcel Reed with both of his top WRs injured

- Byrum Brown

- Billy Puckett

LOL

D.

Lost us the Ole Miss and Kentucky game.

Not going to put Bama squarely on him but as usual his defense can never get a clutch stop when we need it.

Blake Baker went from a P4 must hire to a G5 probably hire. Wouldn't mind him gone after this year either way!!

Grade Blake Baker's season


His season is a B+ at absolute worse. And I am probably being too harsh, and it's actually an A-.

Yall have brought into the group think of the rant and think it makes you seem cool, and you are fitting in, by shitting on the defense. Our defense was 0.0000% of the reason LSU didn't beat Bama. And honestly, the defense has played plenty good enough to win every game we have played. Have they been perfect? No. But a lot of you live in complete fantasy land thinking that LSU shouldn't give up points, or even first downs ever.

Our loses boil down to 2 major things....Turnovers, and not finishing drives with points (often times those two are tied together). It's as simple as that.

But yall ignore the real issue, because you think it will earn you some upvotes piling onto the defense like the rest of the idiots do.

You're talking about advanced metrics to retards. Wasting virtual ink.

This is the laziest analysis that exists.

If that’s the basis for how you evaluate someone you just don’t know the game.

He’s an Ole Miss fan.

He’s trying to cope.

It was 17 - 14 going into the 4th quarter. Bama outscored LSU 14-0 in the fourth.

Plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the ball.

That's completely disingenuous. The offense put the LSU defense is two TERRIBLE spots, to give up those 14 points.

Allowed 20 pts in regulation. You cannot say that's all on the defense, maybe 50% on the defense. That should be enough to win with a Kiffin offense against Kentucky.

Against Ole Miss our offense couldn't stay on the damn field and scored 7 points in the first half and the defense allowed 8 second half points. Yes, they could've been better, but again there is plenty of blame to go around.

In aggregate I blame the offense more in our 3 losses. Defense had some untimely drives against them, but you have to look at the whole body of work.

I give Baker a B.

Yes, we have played a bunch of terrible offenses and back-up QBs. In the games where it mattered most, he mostly shite the bed.

Advanced metrics don’t win you ballgames. Getting a stop during the final two minutes of the fourth quarter does though.

I don’t really understand how he’s getting heat vs Bama.

31 points and we gave them the on our own 25 and 18 after backbreaking turnover on downs.

The entire point of advanced metrics is they allow for opponent competency.

That 14 in the 4th we're on drives that started nearly in the red zone. That's special teams and the offense putting the defense in impossible situations and expecting them to bail them out.

The bigger problem is the offense being unable to score more than 13 even though they moved the ball for close to 450 yards.

Yeah this is very debatable

1H vs Ole Miss was shite, but shut them down in 2H until that last drive. I still blame the offense

UK was bad, but again the offense had their chance to close the game out but chose to punt.

I’d give Baker a B- for what he is paid for.

F. Couldnt get stops when it mattered vs Kentucky. Used that stupid formation on 3rd and long against Kentucky and blew it.

LSU takes the lead on Bama and the d promptly gives up a 65 yard play. He's a loser,

They allowed 20 pts to UK in regulation.

If I asked you before the game if our defense allowed 20 pts to Kentucky in regulation would we win, almost all of you would say yes.

The punt return TD and overtime make the score look much worse for the defense. Granted the 2 pt play was terrible, but we should've never been in that position in the first place.
