LSU Looking to hire Blake Baker *Update* BAKER TO LSU

[Fluffhead]

He gone one way or another. There wouldn’t be this many media leaks about it if it wasn’t happening. Could he really return to Miami after this?

Do you already forget about Golden and PSU?

 

[PCBcanefan]

Why?

 

[TriStarCane]

This is solely for the press release to say that they hired Miami's DC as their LB coach. This guy brings less than nothing to the table. The LULZ are on them

 

[Pentagon Cane]

I like the way this guy thinks...

"All the highest paid LB coaches in the country make between 500k and 650k. If he makes 700k at Miami just match it and tell him to come home.

Lsu is already saving 1M per year with the DC compared to the past 4 years."

If that is the case, then we can hire a tier-1 LB coach who CAN recruit and save $100k. Win/win for us. Even a caveman can recruit linebackers to L$U.

5 Years in the same system. We just gave up a record amount of rush yards. Its Trash.

So when Bama gave up a school record of 647 yards this season- and the most points Bama has given up to an unranked team in the AP poll era- by your logic that must mean Saban's scheme is trash. Which is worse, giving up 62 to a ranked 8-4 team with the #9 scoring offense or giving up 48 to an unranked 5-5 team?

 

[OhGod]

Im sure Baker is gone, Good deal for all involved. Hard to expect a good DC hire with Manny wanting to run his own D. I expect the bots to hire just a low key LB coach to save money.

Saban has won enough games to get the benefit of the doubt. Manny has not.

 

[ColdCane]

Just hire T - will and let manny call the defense. This is his money year. He can’t put his fate in any bodies hands.

PS. If we get T-Will defensive recruiting will be crazy

Gut tells me if Baker goes then Trob pushes for his buddy T. Williams

 

[BS85]

If LSU steals our beloved DC, I will stay home, turn off lights, grab a glass of wine and listen to Hall & Oates' "She's Gone" while sobbing uncontrollably.


Am I doing this right?

That doesn’t mean you aren’t brain dead when you say Manny’s scheme sucks when a huge amount of NFL and college football teams run a 4-2-5 D. If you want to say his run fits suck then do that. By the way, gap integrity and outside contain got fixed with the hiring of Simpson. Replacing the LB Coach will do wonders for this D as well if we put the right players on the field. That goes without mentioning how much better DB’s will perform with TRob who is primarily a press coverage coach. The biggest problem we had was Baker’s conservative playcalling with way too much zone coverage.

Thank you bomb, i jus stated something similar earlier in this post!

Yes indeed, and that opens up the possibility of odd fronts with them on staff.

Steele gets bashed by getting fired by Dabo, but year before he employed a 3-1-7 against LSU in their NC season with Burrow and gave them their toughest game. LSU beat AU 23-20

If Baker leaves, Manny isn't giving Patke the LB gig. He'd be coaching Backers, Strikers and ST's in that scenario. It would 100% be an outside hire.

 

[Golsen82]

He would need to hire a DC this year. But knowing Manny he's going to promote one of his lackeys

**** hire the current Louisiana tech d coordinator

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

If this happened and we just made Patke full time LB coach, I'd kill someone.

 

[Canesfan1899]

The question then becomes does Manny go and try to find a DC or simply look for a LB coach and then go for a DC next year?
