along with our whole defensive staff?
crazy because when you look back, that teams Achilles heel was Max Johnson and our offenses inability to score TD's in the Red Zone

Completely incorrect. Linebacker development was one of the lone bright spots of that team. Most people wanted, and expected, Baker to be retained.

I don't remember the rant's thoughts on Baker, but I didn't want him gone.

Your memory fails you. Baker was a miracle worker with our linebackers after a disastrous 2020.

Incorrect. Baker was one of the few coaches everyone wanted him to keep.

Is this where everyone pretends Daronte Jones wasn't crap because he blitzed Alabama after Lane frickin Kiffin reminded coach O that was allowed in football?

You could've found posts that wanted to bench Crews at some point so that's not an accurate metric.

Baker's stock rose with every play Damone Clark made in '21. He was pretty well thought of IIRC.

And there were a fair amount that wanted Daronte to stay. Hell, Andre Carter too.

Once the defense started applying pressure and playing better after the bye week, we didn't hate the defensive coaches as much lol.

Your memory failed you on this one. Damone Clark was a Butkus finalist in 2021 and most of us recognized Baker played a major part in that.

Exactly.

This puts him in the same company as every coach that has won a NC.

Jay Johnson last year? Yep.

Mulkey yesterday? Yep.

Your memory is tripping.
There was even a portion of the fan base that didn’t want to see Daronte go.

You were correct about Max Johnson & all the rest though.

Can you name just one LSU coach that someone on the Rant hasn't wanted to be fired?
