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.

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.

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

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).

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

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

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

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

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

When it comes to waiting on his decision to sign recruits if you are going to go, go! Don’t hold us back.

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