If Kelly leaves, would LSU promote Baker to HC even though he has no HC experience? All a HC needs to be is a good manager like a CEO. Hire an awesome OC and go from there. The team seems to play hard for Blake.

If LSU hired Baker I can hear it already after the first loss.

be careful what you wish for, but I was kind of thinking he would be a better fit up in Penn State.

Question. I get blake baker is a good defensive coach. But what makes him the best candidate for the head coach at Lsu? Have we learned nothing?

Penn State just fired Franklin, not because he was a bad coach, but because he couldn't get over the hump. You could say that about BKs career to this point. Why pay $50m to hire a guy with the same resume?

Says who? Who’s gonna give him a better deal?

And why would Penn State take him?

Fans think with emotions. Let's bring in someone we know instead of conducting a genuine coaching search.

Meh, I hate these type of HC’s. I’d rather someone that’s directly involved with one side of the ball whether that’s offense or defense.

no, not a chance

Kelly isn't getting the Penn St job either just because random people have thrown his name out there. There have been at least 25 coaches mentioned for the job. I saw Blake Bakers name too fwiw. No one knows who Penn St is actually considering and you likely won't until the regular season is over

Curt Cignetti, Indiana's head coach, seems to be a hot name at the moment for a bump to a better school.
