We have all been talking about Blake Baker like he’s gone but he’s still here.

He has confirmed offers from both Tulane and Memphis but Lane is going all in on retaining Baker which means the checkbook is out. I’d think he would have already accepted the Tulane job but still nothing. Either Tulane is keeping it very quiet or Blake is truly conflicted because LSU is ready to pay him.

Why would he leave when LSU can pay him plus having these big-time recruits coming in...not to mention what is returning.

The melt at Tulane knowing our DC would rather stay here than be a HC at Tulane.

I could not ever coach at a school that flies the flag of Israel around the stadium. No flag flies higher in the USA than the US flag!!

Bakers' dad is friends with someone I work with.

And if he was staying why would they just not say it? Be logical

How in the world did Bama keep Kirby Smart for like 9 seasons? Seems like that would never happen now.

I think he's thinking about it. If what's being said is true about his wife prefer he stays at LSU, the kids are in school, and the wife & kids wanting to stay in Baton Rouge. Its a tough decision for a man who prioritize his family. But idk we'll see. I personally think he eventually accepts it.

Just a matter of personal preference. There's more than 1 way to skin a cat.. see Dan Lanning

If what they are saying ab his wife (LSU alum) is true, in like our chances.

he makes 2.5 here, he was offered a lower salary to go to Memphis and may get a lower than 2.5m offer at Tulane.
