Who says baker is his guy? They cleared this defensive staff out with nary a leak. Then baker is publicly announced as the leader ? Meh…smells like baker trying to squeeze more out of Mizzou or start a bidding war in general.

Ponamsky propaganda lies from when the ship was sinking.

Ed was coming off a NC, he wasn’t being told who to hire at that point. Dude spent the whole offseason stressing his excitement to return to his style of D.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted.

If he's offered, he will take it.

It's an absolute upgrade for him. Gets him even closer to landing a P5 HC job down the road (instead of going the G5 route first) and he talked previously about how happy his wife was to move back to LA his first time around.

I will say I thought at one point seems weird we would tell a NC coach who to hire.

Then again it’s O and everyone knew he couldn’t be left unattended

Honestly Woody should have said no to the Bo contract.

I'm leaning this way, too. Sources completely outside of LSU, even Mizzou, break the news that Baker is the top target. How exactly would they catch wind of that? It's obviously coming from Baker's camp. If he was the slam dunk #1 guy, it would have been done quietly and would have leaked after the deal was agreed to.

I don’t think anyone disagrees. Of course he’ll take LSU DC over Mizzou DC……if offered.

Not sure that he’ll be offered tho. We shall see.

I’d be happy with Baker, but there are other candidates I’d be happy with as well. I trust BK to do the due diligence and make an important hire.

If it's Jim Leonhard, I'll be popping the cork on a bottle of champagne.

Especially in the Woodward/Kelly era at LSU. Seems NOTHING leaks out. I have been wondering if it is smoke just like the "we can't afford the buyouts". If there isn't an announcement by Sunday, my money is on Minter being the DC, he is my number one. Either that or he is wanting to announce all the new hired positions at once.

Baker is making a million plus at Missouri. He already has a top twenty defense. Getting to that level at LSU is going to take time. It seems more plausible that staying at Missouri is a faster ticket to a head coaching gig.

If he’s offered what? It’s all about the money at this point. And personally, I don’t like that aspect of this. I’d rather have someone that wants to be the man rather than “pay me I am the man”.

Baker is only one or two steps up from House.

1st and goal for Marcus Freeman, just has to get the wife's approval.



Marcus shook LSU reps hands and said he's in. Verbally agreed to take the job. Then went home and said nevermind. Those leaks were actually "right-ish", he just hadn't signed.

How is Marcus Freeman applicable here? He got promoted to HC at ND. Of course he's not coming here at that point.

It relates to everyone thinking a DC hire is all but finalized to then suddenly find out it's not.
