Blake baker and company

I’m so sick of the bashing of baker. You have elite teams giving up a lot of points on defense like LSU and Bama to name a few. You got guys who are starters on defense who don’t execute proper technique like shedding blocks making open field tackles and not making a play on the ball when it’s in the air. You got defensive ends flying upfield on power and zone. Then you have podcasters saying “ we play to much zone” I’m not playing man coverage against a mobile quarterback like hendon hooker or the UVA QB who can run. I mean don’t you think guys like Rumph and Banda talk to Ed reed about best technique and scheme .. like duhh...and bolden has look like **** the pass couple of games and he’s light in the ***. He better stay another year. Blades sucks too like really some of you guys don’t know football I trust my eyes and you guys that constantly bash Rumph and baker don’t have a clue I’m telling yah. YES BAKER CAN DO SOME THINGS BETTER but the defense has displayed on many occasions that they can get stops when it counts! Case in point the last two games in the fourth quarter Ivey got a pick (HE MADE A PLAY) defensive line stepping up against NC State (ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MAKING A PLAY) players gotta make plays bottom line. We are not littered with 5 Starr kids it is what it is. We have no consistency with backer play. Is baker the best coordinator probably not but it’s NOT HIM OR RUMPHS FAULT.
I'M watching the original STAR TREK episodes until Monday night football.

Funny, when there was no sports on the air, my son and I watched TOS, then TNG, then DS9, and we were in season 4 of Voyager.

No one is confused nor assumes that it's all Baker & Rumph...

Baker & Rumph's criticism comes from the fact their units on the field are poorly coached AND they in particular have underperformed as recruiters, which leads to people wondering what exactly are they doing if they're not doing a great job coaching or recruiting?

They (along with Patke) catch the most heat because it's what they've earned due to their poor performances, if they were great recruiters or great coaches people wouldn't criticize them as much as they do, that's how it works with fans.

Great post, and thats how it works in life too, you dont do your job well, and you get canned.
 
I dont know what your watching but it's not Miami football!!!!!!! BAKER IS HORRIBLE....HE WAS HORRIBLE BEFORE THIS GAME.....Manny needs to take over the defense if he's going to keep him. If not....FIRE BLAKE BAKER!!!!!!

U r correct (sorta) I give you that but it’s TIME to put some FRESH EYES on that defensive coaching staff that can recruit and teach and let Manny be Manny..CEO of The Miami college football team..end of story

Anyone that says Baker and Patke should keep their jobs really need to evaluate their knowledge on football. Both suck at their jobs and bring nothing to the table in recruiting. Patke inherited Jose and Lou, before then our kicker and punter were horrendous
