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

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,
So you base his season on 2 plays, both of which you have no idea as to whether the actual plan was bad or if a player just didn't do his job?
tRant is incredible.

He gets a B+ in my book.

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.
The offense gave him 2 chances to end the game. At the end of regulation and in OT. He shite the bed both times because he can never get a clutch stop.

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.
Ole Miss were pretty much perfect from 3rd down that entire first half, and they were all 3rd and longs. The TD before half in that game was also inexcusable, our defense had been rested for 8 minutes. They get the ball back and go down the field with 1 minute left and no timeouts and score a TD. Absolutely pathetic and huge play in that game. 17-7 at half compared to 24-7 at half was a huge difference.
The offense was always going to be a work in progress as the season went on, with a brand new offensive staff and players. Baker has been here for 3 years and had way more returning players.

The Blake Baker haters are some of the biggest retards this world has ever produced.
He's not the head coach. They're not his wins or his losses. That's on Kiffin.
Literally everyone in the country thinks Blake Baker is a damn good DC but retards like OP think he's bad. Imagine looking at the stats from the Bama game and thinking the loss is on Baker and the defense. You'd literally have to be special needs to come to that conclusion.

Blake Baker’s defense has been very good - one of the best in the nation. Our offense has been our problem this season. The defense has played championship level ball.

C-
Way too inconsistent. Goes one week from being a great DC with the potential to be a head coach to another Saturday where his defense gets completely exposed.

That straight line formation was dumb. Kentucky just ran the opposite way.
The 65 yard play. It's always something when the game is on the line.
How about having no defender in the middle of the filed when the Kentucky qb scored the 2 point walk off. That was terrific.

Was there no defender in the middle of the field because that was the play call or did a single player not do his job?

B-
His defense has been relatively good this year overall but he has the most unclutch defenses I've ever seen. He fixes this he'd be an elite DC. People forget he's still young, so he can always improve.
Negative thoughts trickle into my head when I know his defenses are coming on the field to keep momentum our way in a key swing position of the game. Bama isn't on him, but he contributed the 21 unanswered points and massive momentum swing after we just took control.
He's responsible for Ole Miss and Kentucky losses though unquestionably. Not the sole reason but the biggest reason.

They don't even know. They'll probably say someone like Aranda, although Baker is a better DC than Aranda.
Or, they'll say another head coach that used to be a DC and might be on the hot seat who probably never put up the numbers that Baker's de has this year.
Another thing that should be added in this conversation is Baker is doing this without 2 of the best players we had on defense this year - Weeks and Spears. Those are 2 HUGE losses, and we're still one of the best defenses in the country.
These BB haters are idiots.

Do y'all distinguish between a coaching call or decision and the failure of a player to do his job?
j/k, I already know that answer
It's not always a bad coaching decision that leads to a bad play. Sometimes there is a player out of position, or he gets caught with his eyes in the wrong place, or sometimes the other team's play just works.

I think this is heavy hyperbole. National media has called him out quite a bit. Depends on who you listen to. Bama is not on him or even the main reason but he definitely contributed to the thumping in the 4th. I know Crain and Cone show which was ultra high on him has called him out on LSU's losses this year. They specifically said he's the reason LSU lost the Kentucky game. They've also had a segment on one show that dug into this deeper and showed his critical errors in key situations over 3 years at LSU so it's not a this year problem as I'm sure most LSU fans know.
Nobody thinks he's a "bad" DC but it really can't be argued in key situations his defenses are simply not clutch. You guys seem to be overlooking how massive momentum swings are to the college games. If you can't rely on a defense in key moments you end up with the results we've seen with Baker in 3 years.

What do you want him to do? Pause the play and remind the player to do his job?

C - for choke.
Constantly folds in the biggest moments.
We win Saturday if that D gets a stop on the drive after we took the lead.

A for 3qts F 4th.The blown coverages at this stage are unacceptable .He either needs to coach better or recruit smarter players.Those goal line TDs were coaching malpractice.
