Baker has had a great season this year, the stats are great and he’s done a great job at LSU as a whole.

FSU would be smart to go after him. He’s young, energetic, and FSU has some prestige vs Memphis and Tulane offers last year.

The Aranda thing is interesting. Complete speculation.. but could Baker have told Kiffin he is in lead for FSU and to find a replacement now?

I’d tell my wife to say the same to maximize contract leverage. I believe that alternative was Tulane job

None of the multiple pod casts out there has either on their list of candidates. All the possible candidates are or have been head coaches.

Reading between the lines, Aranda is out there with nothing to do, and you're making a playoff push with little or no room for error against the hardest remaining schedule in the country. IF you succeed, it's very likely that your DC will be fielding phone calls for jobs, so it won't hurt to have a DC around just in case.

FSU will hire a current head coach, not a coordinator.

Stein should target #1

At the moment, FSU is the top job available. It's hard to see them settling for a coordinator.

Baker should hire the Rant to be his collective agent. I believe the Rant's market for Baker well exceeds his actual market

The Kentucky native and lifelong Kentucky fan in his first year and has his team in the top 10 in the country would leave for that dumpster fire?

I'm not saying that he will leave, but that should be their number 1 target over Baker or any other coordinator.

I think Kiffin is being prudent and stockpiling available talent. No different than when Saban hired Sark as analyst (after USC firing) when Kiffin was OC at Bama. There was no certainty at the time that Kiffin was going anywhere, but you get the benefit of an additional high quality staffer and a potential replacement should it later become necessary, as we know it later did.

Not sure why, but it feels like FSU would go with an offensive guy.

Why not go after the Wake Forrest coach?
