If we have to move on from Kelly in the next 1-2 seasons, he will get his chance at interim. We can’t afford to lose baker to some cheesedick school like Tulame. This isn’t shade towards Kelly either. If you believe in BK you have to secure his only good coordinator or he’ll have zero chance.

You think Blake baker is qualified to be the HC at a place like lsu? Lol

Also, HC in waiting is not a real thing

We don’t like LSU hiring guys like Sloan because LSU isn’t a place to cut your teeth as a coordinator but we wanna hire a first time head coach?

Worked for Oregon. If LSU was to field an elite top-5 defense in the next couple years and Baker shows other traits of a future elite head coach, it’s not unprecedented.

See ya. I personally didn’t see much improvement other than D-line play. Understandable there. We went from not having a coach to having two.

where do some of you guys fricking come from? Do you even actually follow football or these coaches careers when you rattle out these names?

Can’t do that, plus if he has a ton of success at Tulane, then LSU would have to consider.

Who to say he isn’t? All people on here is talk about how we should have hired Dan Lanning back in 2021.

Yes, there have been several assistants that became 1st time, big time HCs with success:

Switzer
Paterno
Kirby
Dabo
Stoops

With Baker, I don't think we've seen enough to merit this though.

ETA: Scott Woodward should never have a role in another football HC hiring.

Totally unnecessary. Besides, Kelly could be there another 10 years. Or even if he was fired tomorrow, do you really think Blake Baker is the best man for the job? He’s been a good DC in one year with us but don’t make false promises to the man.

If Woodward hired someone that has never been a coach before, someone may actually burn his house down.

I’ll just say that’s a bad idea.

Defense is still very weak. Improved but not close to Top 10.
