it's not about the money, Son.

Baker is a Tulane alum, wants to be head coach, has family in NOLA

well i'm not paying. as long as the check clears.

We pay him $2.5 now. Its not that big of a bump. The issue is that 1. he wants to be a HC. 2. He went to Tulane.

LSU isn't trying to reset the market for coordinators in the sport either. Saying "pay whatever" can be a slippery slope.

Would you turn down a chance to be a head coach at your alma mater and 4M dollars?

That’s what you are asking the man to do.

Baker would be foolish not to take the job. Your reputation can quickly tank as a coordinator. Look at Joe Sloan. 15 months ago, Louisiana Tech would have been laughed at for thinking he would accept a head coaching offer. Today people would laugh at Louisiana Tech for offering him the job.


He is a proven commodity at LSU, and less likely to tank as a coordinator IMO. At Tulane he would have to maintain being in the playoff hunt… at Tulane. The move would be a bit more risky.
