Ole Miss gave up 52 points, 611 yards
Kentucky gave up 51 points, 608 yards
Tenn gave up 32 points, 472 yards
Mizzou gave up 30 points, 385 yards
Alabama gave up 24 points, 321 yards

And you have to take into account “talent gap” and then big question is was he doing more with less

Not picking sides here, I just want to point out that this is with Mizzou talent. Not the talent that LSU should have year in and year out. Baker at LSU is going to be able to have an advantage that you only get at about 8 schools.

Some scatter-shooting as the late Blackie Sherrod used to say.
1) As others have said, not retaining Blake Baker by Brian Kelly was understandable given House's background in position coaching (LBer coach for the Chiefs)
2) Finishing 34th nationally in yards allowed 2 years in a row (around 340 yards) playing an SEC schedule is impressive... PERIOD!
3) No one has ever accused Missouri of having upper echelon SEC talent yet he made it work
4) IMO, he APPEARS to be top 5 to 8 top DC in college. Pretty sure any knowledgeable football person would put a young up and comer DC over the retreads that keep getting hired. Want to guess how many stops just fired OU DC Ted Roof has made over 35 years... 17 total with 15 different schools. Not all were as DC but most were.
I don't have a crystal ball but Baker seems like a good hire!
