Blake Baker Will Be Gone

[rsa coral gables]

If Manny took over play calling duties again this year, during the fourth quarter of the NCSU game and most if not all of the VT game, then there is no way that Baker can remain next year. It is a clear admission that Baker cannot do and has not done his job satisfactorily. And being demoted to a position coach on the same team is not feasible for a coordinator. He gone.

looked like someone different was calling plays after Va.Tech opened up lead to 24-13
whole D staff needs to go Patke needs a role in recruiting staff also add an LB coach

 

[Swampcity]

[TexasCane90]

Is this actually confirmed or another “Players notified” situation.

Sounds like a bunch of people trying to wish something into existence.

Honestly, with the way the fan base has gotten against him, it's probably in everyone's best interests. He will get no credit here as fans all say Manny took over if something goes well. It's all on him if it goes poorly.

Not saying he does/doesn't deserve it, just saying sometimes it's best for all parties to make a change.

 

[ChicagoCane1992]

I hope this happens. Take Patke and Rumph with him. Get guys in here who actually could coach and recruit.

Why do we beat a dead horse all the time? Just let it play out and let's see if the appropriate changes are made. I have faith after this past off-season manny isn't one to continue doing the same.thing if it ain't working but we'll have to wait and see..

Could we please give it a rest until the season is over?

 

[nycane]

He can’t coach at this level imo.

Two options--

1. Diaz calls D, keeps Baker as a helper DC like Richt had Brown as OC.

2. Fires him. I don't know what he'll do. As long as Baker isn't calling the D, it's a win.

Hopefully Diaz goes after Brown from Meechigan when Harbaugh gets canned.

Let him take another job would be ideal. He hasn’t cashed in on any LA ties and I’d think Lashlee made inroads to Houston with Flagg.

Only helps if manny hires somebody he actually let’s run a defense they want to run. This is his horrible scheme. It’s always been feast or famine

 

[CanesLifer2]

Did I miss something? Obviously the D played a little better and a bit differently schematically then it has been this season, (less stunts and crap delayed blitz’s) are we thinking manny did yesterday’s game as well?

I feel like I just answered my own question

 

[Cajuncane]

Because Manny and Baker are BFF’s I could see Manny hiring a new DC and making Blake Co-DC and coach of the LBers...Rumph and PATKE need to be on the first kick rocks bus outta there unless PATKE takes some position in recruiting.

But whatever happens calling and scheming of the defense needs to be taken away from Baker cause he’s shown for 2 years now he has no clue as to what he’s doing.

The Canes Legacy guy, in a post game interview, said manny took over play calling.... he gone.
