This a quote from a Mizzou fan


I’m going to assume their fans don’t know shite just like our fans.

I'm not saying this fan is an expert but I know he watches a hell of a lot more Mizzou football than I did the past 2 years.

I think LSU fans are being prisoners of the moment with Baker. We remember how much the LBers improved when he was here and we all saw how good the Mizzou defense looked against OSU in the bowl game and now we are clamoring for a guy that hasn't really proven much as a DC.

I am definitely not an expert so maybe I am wrong and he's the next Kirby Smart but his resume as a DC isn't much to write home about. Dominating an OSU team that was on its 3rd string QB and missing its best WR in a game that they admittedly didn't prepare for isn't much of a skin on the wall imo. Also Mizzou's success this year was much more offense based than defense.

That would be accurate. Baker is a defensive coach rising star. There's always some danger when you hire those guys because their sample size is small, but he worked miracles for Mizzou in a short time period and is a big part of why they're good this year.
