Probably a stretch and totally "pie-in-the-sky" on my part but Coach Shoop MIGHT, just MIGHT know a name or two as well.Quote:

There were also some very questionable calls against us too (imagine that). I couldn't stand Bama after that, for a while, and may be back in that mode. Now for a different reason.
One things for sure....we clearly had not only our best talent possibly ever in 2018, we also had an entire staff that Bama wanted. That makes the 8-5 finish sting even worse to me. What an awful last month we've had. It's been the most MSU month ever.

Stop the madness, raid you say, yes but assistants leave mostly for a better deal such as money, tradition and so many other reasons. If Baker goes, so be it as assistants come and go. Can't fault someone for thinking or wanting to improve themselves.
There are other defensive line coaches who are capable. Let this play out without crying so much.
He would have done better.Quote:

I'm shocked more of our fan base isn't more concerned over the staff we are losing. I get who we are losing folks to. But if you are making a good chunk of money, the big boys and the NFL have less pull.
We got to start getting more money into football. Absolutely have to.
We’ve gone from “We will never lose a coach due to money” to losing our top assistant coaches at signing day and going cheap on coach pay. It starts at the top.
Yep. We are stepping stone U, now. We can only hit on these good one year assistants every year for so long before we land a few stinkers. And unfortunately a few stinkers will set us back 5 years or moreQuote:

Defensive coaching continuity isn't as significant as offensive coaching continuity tho. And defensive position coaches are usually easier to replace too. But Baker was a good one.
Melting...I think a better use of words would be Fed up. Fed up with being the SEC whipping post and never able to build anything because every step we take, we have to take two steps back. If you want sunshine pumping, looking for silver linings in piles of shit go on over and become a member of Genespage.Quote:

Throw 50-100K more for quality control and off field staff and you get around $4 million.Quote:
