Any thoughts on Blake Baker

[brcane1]

I think he will be a better DC than Manny Diaz.

In what way? Any specific reason? That statement begs for elaboration, lol.

Glad Manny hired a DC and can focus on being the HC and administer the whole program rather than focusing almost all of his attention on the Defense. Most of the top head coaches do it this way...

 

[mirvin88]

He was the perfect hire. Young talented DC with a familiarity of Diaz and similar scheme. Keep the D rolling seamlessly. If he's a success he'll still likely be here several years due to age, until a HC opportunity comes along. Continuity is key.

Wow, already with the names of shame and the first game hasn't even been played.

LOL Cis never fails to fail.

He was highly-regarded and widely viewed as an up and coming coach, it is a good thing we brought him in when we did.

 

[Paranos]

I listened to his podcast interview with Josh Darrow and thought he was very impressive. Nothing specific just a general feeling.

His DE led the nation in sacks last year.... think he is Manny 2.0

That D-End was coached by former UM coach Rick Petri, who is been one of the best dline college coaches for the last 30 years.

Could see “Flake Baker” as an alternate.

Again, hope it doesn’t get used.

Love where your head is at...

Flake Faker.

We have a winner.

But, of course, we hope it never gets used.

I had breakfast with him a few weeks ago. He’s a smart guy with an aggressive approach. I don’t know how good a DC he will be for us, but I’m hoping he and Manny will turn out a top D most every year now that we’ve got the D on the upswing.

His annointed corch name:

Blake Faker.

May we never have reason to invoke this moniker.

“Bluke” every good Corch name has an O or U in it.!

 

[Garnacho]

I’m rooting for Blake. I also think that his recruiting footprint, which is the I-20 strip from Dallas, through East Texas, through Shreveport, Ruston, and Monroe is extremely fertile and doesn’t have much allegiance to any programs. We need to take advantage

 

[da truth]

Young DC and hungry, let him eat Gator

 

[Josh]

Just dont crash the Ferrari

 

[ddann]

I had breakfast with him a few weeks ago.

What did he eat?

 

[Ziggy]

He's Texas Manny. He's got that southern drawl but is aggressive as **** as a DC. If we have success and continue with a dominating defense, I could see him leaving for an open HC job in Texas in 3-4 years.

I think he and Banda are considered Co Def coordinators how does that work if true at least that's how it was explained when he first got here.
Probably nothing but I noticed in his recent press conference he spoke of almost the whole Dline individually but left out Russo.

 

[Twhizman]

Think our defense will be better under baker .you can tell how he carries himself in those interviews he knows what to do and adjust.hes already said Mullen will have a trick/wrinkle or two just to keep us off balance.when a coach says stuff like that you know he's up/into the game already.one day baker could be a top end hc.I mean up there with the good ones.
