He’s been a successful DC in the SEC now and house was brought in to be DC and he’s a linebacker coach so there was no need for baker

He has been a mixed bag at Mizzou. First half of 2022 season, our D was stellar. Second half of the season the SEC had enough film on him the D went to shite.

This year the D was not good to start the year. No way around it. It got better as the year went on but still had a piss poor performance vs Florida and a mediocre day vs UGA. There were good performances vs South Carolina, Tenn and Arkansas. By far the best performance all year was against tOSU but a lot of that might have been because their OL was dogshit.

Overall, if i had to guess i'd say Baker is probably a top 20-30 DC nationally right now. The question is whether he is going to adjust to everyone having more data on him now and improve? If not, he'll start falling pretty fast. Personally I dont think he is worth backing up the brinks truck for at this point. He needs more experience and proven record.


This a quote from a Mizzou fan. I'll be ok if we hire Baker but I'd rather a more proven DC. He seems like a Pete Golding type that is a good recruiter and players love him but hasn't proven to be dominant week to week.

What is funny about this statement is that yes, he was the LB coach at lsu, but he is the defensive backs / safeties coach at Mizzou in addition to being DC. So BK could have kept him on staff and moved him to a different grouping like Mizzou did. Instead, we hired two of the worst defensive backs coaches in LSU history.
