Is Baker the most polarizing assistant coach we’ve ever had?

Trying to think of others off the top of my head but I’m drawing a blank.

Feel like he has a large amount of both people who really like him and detractors.

Since Aranda. Time has passed and glossed over just how bad people thought he was in 2019.

Probably Denbrock as well, the board was pretty back and forth over him.

Dinardo and many others up North thought Tepper hung the moon, but wow what a shite show that buffoon ran at LSU.

Yeah I believe you’re right. I guess he was more of a has-been among the big 10 and perhaps more of a legend in his own mind. Yes he was horrific with LSU.

Matt Canada during O’s first season is definitely up there. I think it was mainly that way because it was a product of the fanbase split on the O hire but damn was it camp vs camp shite show.

I can see this. I fell victim to thinking Canada was phenomenal, but I didn’t realize the apples to oranges comparisons that were in play.

You can’t be serious, Matt House comes to mind immediately

You already forgot about the Orgeron hired WOAT assistant coach? (Brad Davis)

What about BK hired Matt "Pennywise" House?

I’ll go way back and offer Charlie Peavey — the QB coach/OC under Charlie McClendon. Talk about a love-hate coach.

Gary Crowten. Could call trick plays, but out QB development was nonexistent.

John Chavis hasn’t been mentioned somehow. Especially after he went to Aggie
