Help Me Understand…Re:Blake Baker

2 years of SEC DC experience fielding top 30ish defenses definitely helps.

Experience being an SEC DC at this time at a successful program vs no experience as an SEC DC at a successful program.

Glad to help.

So, Baker was already on staff when Kelly was hired at LSU. And, he wasn’t retained. Being this is one of the most important hires of Kelly’s career, what is it about Baker today that wasn’t true 2 years ago?

I've come to the same question 9n tRant.

At that time he didn’t have the experience of Kerry Cooks so Miller went to Missouri to coach safeties.

It’s obvious some of you people say “do you want fries with that?” on your jobs and have no understanding of how the coaching/corporate world works.

There was a young ambitious American colonial army officer during the French and Indian War who badly wanted a commission in the British Army. The only problem was he fricked up tactically and cost the British an important battle. His name was on the shite list for awhile.

His name was George Washington. Wow. I wonder what changed in n the ensuing ten years where the guy was then named commander of the Continental Army? Some of you would have been asking “why?”

Baker didn’t frick up specifically but in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don’t blame CBK a bit in the world for wanting a fresh start. But thank goodness he had the sense to see that Baker has blossomed and didn’t worry how it looked to the fry cooks on the rant and hired a coach who has become a proven and successful DC.
