I would like for Baker to return. But it sounds like he's looking elsewhere. Lane might as well too.

Even if he has no intention of taking the job, interviewing for HC positions is good practice.

Im assuming he does indeed have intention, lol. But I agree with your point.

Dude...Kirby gave you the blueprint. You stop LK's offense in practice for 4 or 5 years...THEN.. make a jump.

If I were him I'd stay a few years and build a champion at LSU. Smart's and Saban's DCs got big time jobs (Tennessee, Florida, Oregon, etc).

Has nothing to do on weather he wants to be at LSU. He is looking at opportunities that are promotions and pay raise. All of us would do the same thing.

Except he isn't gonna get a raise at these schools. LSU will match him up to $3.5 million probably. Maybe more.

You want coaches that other schools want. Saban was very understanding about that.

I don't get how people don't understand this. The just move on crowd opinion is shortsighted, at best. Who wants a DC or OC that no one else wants?

It’s a good way for Blake to drive his demand up. Definitely pressure Tulane some.

Interviewing at Toolame sounded reasonable. But doing a second interview sounds like he wants another job

He may or may not be ready for a HC job now. But you take the interviews. Eventually the will try the HC path, who wouldn’t want to. But you take the interviews and see what they offer. You say no and it limits you down the road.

Just give Blake a $250K a year raise and get him back in the fold. His day as a head coach is coming very soon even if Tulane doesn’t pick him.

Baker is gone. If he wanted to stay he would not have interest in moving on. Find a DC.
