You know he got fired because his defense sucked, right?


So being an LSU DC isn’t a guarantee at a head coaching job? Got it.

Now image being one year away from a head coaching job.

Two choices. One with a defensive staff you built, who got you in a position to start turning down offers, working for a coach who not only hired you, but gave you that DC job.

The second, leaving for a job offer from the guy who never gave you a chance and fired you. So you have to build your defensive staff and rebuild the personnel from a shitty defense, just to leave for a head coaching job after one year.

If lsu doubles his salary to come home those two things would be tough to bargain against.

Plus he would be taking over a defense so bad it would not be hard to show good if not great improvement. Staying where he is he takes a chance on a falloff of his defensive efficiency thus reflecting negatively on him.

If lsu wants him but is unable to get him that would be huge for mizzou.

Negative. DB coach and DL coach hires will be finalized soon and having those coaches will be a major selling point for any DC. All Baker has to do is step in as DC/LB coach.
