When discussing who will stay or who what kind of player they wanted in the portal he said, "If you're afraid of competition, don't come or stay at LSU"

How dare he and his family be…happy in Baton Rouge? That can’t be. I’ve been assured by many here and the entire SECR that living in Somalia is preferred to Baton Rouge.
Not just on the SECR... people who live in BR as well. People love to bitch. I can think of many worse places to live. Baton Rouge has a lot that is great.

He is smart to stay at LSU another 1-2 years. He will have a much better shot at getting a HC job at a major program.
He also knows Kiffin is volatile and a capable coordinator who could step into the HC job at any moment is a valuable asset to LSU also.

If you have money BR isn't a bad place to live.

It was 100% a family decision. He didn’t want to move his kids to another school again.

LSU added another milly to his yearly salary
Apparently he didn't base his decision to stay on the money aspect.

I really enjoyed that read and it garners respect. I wasnt a fan of the LK hire but its starting to change. The recruiting and retaining our DC is working its magic on me.

Send flowers to Mrs. Baker with a thank you note.

. You’re telling the guys that you’re going to be here next year and we need you to sign on the dotted line. I just couldn’t look myself in the mirror, say those things and up and leave in the next 24 hours.
This tells you a lot about BB.

A friend's kid goes to St Jude with Baker's kids. They prayed in class that the kid would be able to stay in school with them!

Yeah I I think the wife said “in 2 years will you be taking a P4 job and if so can you do that here without an extra move?”

It’s the right thing for him to do right now. No need to rush. He keeps producing top level defenses YOY, he’ll be just fine.
He mentioned the Kirby Smart method. Kirby was patient for the perfect opportunity. No reason for Blake to not have the same opportunity when it shows up.

Bama might start honing in on Baker soon if DeBoer gets on shaky ground.

Possibly our next HC
