The addition of new defensive coordinator Corey Batoon is coming along with the installation of a new defensive system.
Former Missouri football defensive coordinator Blake Baker left Colombia for LSU earlier in the offseason, leaving a large hole in the Tigers coaching staff. Corey Batoon, the former South Alabama defensive coordinator, was selected to fill the role for the Tigers.
"We're just continuing to evaluate these guys, day in and day out. The cool thing about camp is if you don't have a lot of the other distractions like today, we're actually checking in the dorms together as a team and so you get an opportunity to really bring that team part together," Batoon said. Batoon also believes that fall camp poses an excellent time to truly see the pieces they have, on all sides of the ball. The coaches have the opportunity to evaluate and the players have a final chance to show off before the start of the season.
"Coach Batoon has come in and installed the defense and the basic DNA of what it's been. But to me play callers are a type of artist, and each artist paints his own picture," Drinkwitz said at SEC Media Days a couple of weeks back.
