I think an offensive minded coaches are better at those schools. Stay here Blake.
Just learn to deal with fast pace, no huddle offenses

Don't make the same mistake Aranda made.

Aranda left for a P4 school that was becoming a contender before the Briles scandal. Rhule had them back in contention before jumping for the NFL. That Baylor job was light years ahead of what Tulane is offering. If Baker takes this offer, it seems like he would be doing much worse than Aranda did.

Stands didn’t make a mistake. Baylor is a ceiling 8-9 year win team in good cycles and 7-8 in the norm. Baylor isn’t elite and it’s certainly not LSU.

Aranda did not make a mistake. He took his shot, made life changing money, and found out he simply is not head coach material at this stage of his career. If fired, he gets a decent buyout and/or can go back to being an elite level DC at a P5 school.

Follow Kirby's lead...stick around as DC for 6 or 8 years under LK then make your move. The risk will be nothing at that point.

Come on Blake, hang around LK for a couple years. It will increase your chances for success.

Ok, see if Aranda wants to return and get Coach O on the D-line and recruiting.

If I am Baker, I sit tight and learn some more offense. In two years after winning the natty for LSU, it really opens up for him.
