Baker joins the LSU staff after serving as the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Missouri for the past two seasons. Baker coached the linebackers at LSU in 2021.

Drop 7 in a deep zone on 3rd and 6 while rushing 4. Opposing team throws 8-10 yd route for first down.

That happened about 200 times this year and the House never changed it.

I told myself this for a while during the season. But when he absolutely refused to spy Milroe and made him look like the second coming of Mike Vick, I was convinced.

You know absolutely nothing about football if you think he wasn't the problem.

Did LSU just miss on every defensive player they got? How can you have a top 5 offense and the 114th defense if it's not coaching? Is the talent level that bad compared to offensive players?

Actually he was the problem. The next adjustment he makes will be his first.

Yes he was. He was rated bottom quartile before the season ever started.

When a defense is this pathetic, it is coaching. If the offense was this bad it would be the coaching too.

The defense was embarrassing and House should have been fired.
