So what does Baker need now?

2024 was a stabilizing year after the ‘23 debacle with house. Got exposed vs mobile QBs. Nuss playing like a complete prat at times was a bigger worry but LSU put more money into the defensive roster after the season.

2025 in come the likes of Delane and Haulcy to beef up the secondary. Perkins back from injury. Year 2. Still can’t stop a running QB. As bad as the offense was in BK’s last stand game against aggy, the defense was embarrassing. Its ok though, Kiffin is coming and an offensive guru like him will only elevate Baker.

2026- 3 losses as we enter week 2 of November. Defense has a huge hand in all 3 losses. End of half eviscerations against OM and UK. Folding like a blue medical tent as soon as we take the lead on bama with the stadium loud as it’s been in years. But hey at least you finally stopped Marcel Reed who it turns out is a completely fricking shite quarterback which no one realized coming into the year thanks to Baker. Look at the players we brought in. Benefield, the Ole Miss guys, Ross, etc We even have young studs like Pickett and Geralds but still can’t get critical stops or ride momentum. Weeks is hurt but thats nothing new.


What’s the next move? Rantards were concerned about Baker “looking over his shoulder” at Aranda if we bring him on as analyst. I think it’s more likely he’ll be holding his hand.
