Being an established coordinator at a big time program can get you a head coaching gig at a big time program. Look at Kirby Smart, Venables, Lanning, and even Jimbo. It's not now or never for Baker and, if he keeps up his success, he'll have better offers down the road.

It's a crapshoot when you go after a small school coach. Just look at Tom Herman and sun belt billy.

Of course he knew. Just hasn't figured out how to handle the media yet.

I got this saturday night from someone I would believe but wouldn't bet my life on. The word is that Rousse will be announced tomorrow (tuesday), Schroyer will follow him but not as AD. He'll be below that level as either an assitant to the AD or assitant to the president. That won't be announced tomorrow but will come in the next week or two. Also, he spoke to a trustee and the trustee said they're going to shock the whole world with the coaching hire. That to me only says one thing. I'm not necessarily standing behind this but that's what I heard. We'll know tomorrow if the first part is true.

Schroyer at LSU would not be the right move. He's got some baggage and has exactly zero experience in a major athletic administration. Rousse would likely do a good job for LSU.

Can you link to that? Because if he got a $3m NIL budget then nobody would be bragging about winning the Southland Conference.

I would be absolutely shocked if he got that

I talked to multiple boosters in the room the night he pitched it. He raised about half of it in commitments that night. I don't know for sure he got all the way there after that but I got the impression he did.
