I think our talent and depth at CB is a disgrace, and our experienced talent at LB is awful. Our starting MLB would be 3rd string in our good years.
I'm not going to blame Baker because he's Diaz's son, and Diaz had his **** pushed in pretty regularly just like Baker. Go look at that Miss State v. Arkansas game where he got humiliated. Look at how he turned subpar passers like Benkert, Bryant, and that feeble Wisconsin QB into Drew Brees. Those dudes set personal/team records on Diaz, not Baker.
So if you want to scapegoat, yeah fire Baker. I don't care. I'm the last guy to cape for Baker, but I'm realistic in my appraisal, and this is Diaz's D. If Diaz thinks Baker is failing operating his D, then Diaz can take it over at any time and do it better.
I'd fire some of the defensive coaches simply because they can't recruit and have zero pedigree (Rump and Patsy). If Manny wants to hand the D over to someone and let him run his own D, then I'd support that. But firing Baker and replacing him with another Diaz son is useless.
