Fletcher Mackel of WDSU in New Orleans is reporting that LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker is expected to be hired as Tulane's next head coach.

Mackel says the deal is not done yet, but could be soon.

Baker would replace Jon Sumrall, who is taking over the Florida job.

Baker played linebacker at Tulane from 2000 to 2004 before getting into coaching in 2009.

Better now than after next season. Maybe the rest of the defensive staff will come together soon now that this process is over.

Hopefully, the next one can defend a mobile QB.

Always happy to see a guy go be a head coach at his Alma mater. Big blow for our defense and recruiting. Let’s see who becomes the DC.

If you heard Kiffin’s press conference, he mastered offense by learning what gives defensive coordinators headaches. We are in good shape with him in charge. More dominoes will fall. Better go get Kelvin Sheppard, in a hurry.

Baker is an idiot. Being a DC at LSU with Kiffin is the closest he will ever get to winning a Natty.

You win a Natty THEN you leave to go try being a HC.

I don’t understand the downvoting. Ryan Day, Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning all went from never being a head coach to hired at a top job from a coordinator position.
