He may or may not be ready for a HC job now. But you take the interviews. Eventually the will try the HC path, who wouldn’t want to. But you take the interviews and see what they offer. You say no and it limits you down the road.

Yeah Lane will be hiring a new DC

Has nothing to do on weather he wants to be at LSU. He is looking at opportunities that are promotions and pay raise. All of us would do the same thing.

Except he isn't gonna get a raise at these schools. LSU will match him up to $3.5 million probably. Maybe more.

LSUPilot07•4 months

Just give Blake a $250K a year raise and get him back in the fold. His day as a head coach is coming very soon even if Tulane doesn’t pick him.

Yeah this might work, if it were 1999

Interviewing at Toolame sounded reasonable. But doing a second interview sounds like he wants another job

Datbayoubengal•4 months

If I were him I'd stay a few years and build a champion at LSU. Smart's and Saban's DCs got big time jobs (Tennessee, Florida, Oregon, etc).

Baker is gone. If he wanted to stay he would not have interest in moving on. Find a DC.

GeauxTigers1410•4 months

He wants to be a head coach.

Dude...Kirby gave you the blueprint. You stop LK's offense in practice for 4 or 5 years...THEN.. make a jump.

panzer•4 months

You want coaches that other schools want. Saban was very understanding about that.

mdomingue•4 months

I don't get how people don't understand this. The just move on crowd opinion is shortsighted, at best. Who wants a DC or OC that no one else wants?

Leverage that pay day baw.

Even if he has no intention of taking the job, interviewing for HC positions is good practice.

BigC LSU•4 months

Im assuming he does indeed have intention, lol. But I agree with your point.

He gawn

He's playing the same game Lane did. Don't blame him

That would be an awesome hire for the Memphis Tigers

Koolazzkat•4 months

Lane should hire a DC.

BIIIL•4 months

I would like for Baker to return. But it sounds like he's looking elsewhere. Lane might as well too.

Really? All coaches do this

When it comes to waiting on his decision to sign recruits if you are going to go, go! Don’t hold us back.

Blake, don't worry about showing up for the Memphis interview. I heard coach O is going there also

O seems to be going everywhere

It’s a good way for Blake to drive his demand up. Definitely pressure Tulane some.
