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

TimeB0mb said:
It never ceases to amaze me that some posters on this site are so dense that they think it's perfectly legitimate to criticize Diaz for not dumping both his entire offensive and defensive staff after his first season. Is it fair to criticize the initial hires? Yes, that's fair game. He's a rookie coach and made bad choices. Is it fair to criticize him for not having 100% turnover of the staff after year 1? No. That's a stupid criticism. He fixed the biggest problem first and then he moved on to the second part. 4 out of 5 coaches on defense now gone. So if my math is correct, that's 10 out of 11 new coaches between year one and year three. You can't fault the guy for trying to fix his mistakes.

And not firing Baker was plain good business. Not only did it turn out to be a financially savvy move and save the school hundreds of thousands of dollars, but other coaches take notice that Diaz does right by his people and tries to give them a chance to save face if things go bad.

Cade “From brown eye to pink eye” Weldon??

Go Canes!
 
So, Patke was the only one who survived, huh?

I’m not sure if that’s because he couldn’t find another landing spot, or if Manny thinks highly of him.

Any ideas, @Cribby @nycane ?

So does this mean Banda is coming back to be DC? T-Rob? Will Patke now coach the LBs too? We need some answers. I'm assuming Manny has a plan. What about T-Rob's boy, the one who coaches LBs at Auburn? Interesting moves being made at UM this offseason.

“Buh buh buh but manny won’t get rid of his boy , best friend lover “. He publicly demoted his lover and advised him to search out other jobs. I told y’all this in Dec but nobody wanted to believe. Now I’ll let everyone get back to their imaginary land of believing their own narratives.

Any chance he recants on hiring a real DC?

I’ve mentioned several times that Manny addressed the elephant in the room - the offense - when he was first hired. One can’t eat the elephant in one bite.

I have been told by multiple people who know their crafts that Patke is a very sharp and talented football mind. Time will tell how he pans out but that many people saying the same thing usually means there is substance to the claim.

Just responded with a similar point to Cribby. You’re right: Time will tell, my friend.
