Footballscoop

quote:

Several people tell FootballScoop that Kiffin already has conveyed to Baker, a Tulane alum and Houston, Texas, native, that he would like for Baker to continue as LSU's defensive coordinator in the Kiffin regime.

Baker, signed through the end of the 2026 season and among college football's highest-paid coordinators on either side of the ball, helped LSU post college football's No. 16 scoring defense at 18.45 points per game and No. 23 overall team defense at 313 ypg in 2025 despite the Tigers getting almost no help from Joe Sloan's LSU offense, which finished 104th nationally in scoring at less than 23 ppg.

Kiffin, several sources tell FootballScoop, is bringing Charlie Weis Jr. to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to run the Tigers's offense.

This is literally a dream come true. If we keep Baker, Raymond, and Frank, upgrade our S&C, and bring whoever Kiffin wants on offense, it is the best possible scenario.

Baker loves LSU and will not leave unless he gets a HC job.

Baker makes 2.5 million a year. He’s making bank at LSU for a coordinator

Hopefully we can do well in the early signing. Kiffin should bring a wow factor to recruiting.

They wanted Lane Kiffin too. Why on earth would Baker leave LSU to coach the same position at Florida? The search proved we are a better job and he has Louisiana ties. A HC job is the only threat to lose Baker. Tulane would make sense. They aren’t getting a proven HC, he lives 1 hr away, Alum of the school, G5 playoff contender each year. It makes sense for both sides.
