It’s been a very long time since the Mississippi State football team has had a defensive coordinator stay for more than just one season. The Bulldogs have seen defensive coordinator after defensive coordinator leave left and right over recent years. So, the news breaking that Bob Shoop and Brian Baker signed extensions was borderline monumental for Joe Moorhead’s program.
And of course, that news breaks in the midst of Charles Huff heading over to Tuscaloosa and then Luke Getsy leaving for the NFL.
Those departures makes retaining Shoop and Baker especially important.
