Apparently their number 1 option Washington at Ohio St turned them down.

I wouldn't blame him for taking a DC position. I would blame him for taking the DC position at Tennessee.

Surprised by this. I hear he was not a good DC

He took the LSU job so his wife and kids would be closer to her home. He’s also closer to Houston (his home). Don’t see him leaving for Tennessee

Unless they offer him north of $1.8m, he stays.

could be a blessing in disguise, UNC ran for 1000 yards on his lbs. If he heads there, just hurry up and grab Travis Williams and we would be more than fine there.

I’m not leaving if I’m Blake Baker.

His current job pays well, is relatively stress free, loaded with talent and will make him look like a genius with slight overall improvement from last season..

Shea Dixon just posted on 247:

“source on LSU side said there’s nothing brewing here in terms of Blake leaving for another job”

You people conveniently leave out the fact that Baker coached a top 20 defense in 2019.. and his 2 best defensive players opted out in 2020. Also, linebackers aren’t the only position that running backs gain yards on.. moron

Imagine how Tennessee feels when our LB coach turns them down for a DC job

I don’t care if it’s a promotion. UT is about to get hammered. Makes no sense to go there

I love the cherry picking of the stats from ONE game where you have no idea how and why they gave up that many yards.

I'm only one person. Also rush defense in a 4-3 relies pretty heavily on Line backer play. IF he is dumb enough to take a job at UT, then all of those Miami fans on their boards were probably right about him and we don't want him anyways.

No shite you’re only one person.. but you’re not the only person who thinks Baker is a bad hire, which is why I said “you people” ...Miami fans think Manny Diaz is a good DC, but sure.. listen to them.

He literally said we were the ONLY school he would leave the Miami DC position for... there's no way on earth he leaves for Tenn.

Being a Tennessee fan must be depressing af. The head coaching hire was stale enough as is

All this will do is get him a raise at LSU. He knows Tennessee will be a shite show and his wife went to LSU and is back home. You don’t make the boss lady angry for a career killing job at the dumpster fire that is Rocky Top.
