The LSU job. I was worried the second they fired their defensive coordinator.
I read BenFred’s column and it’s not convincing whatsoever. No wonder these newspaper columnists are going extinct.
Crawling into the skin of Baker, I care about 3 things: money, career progression, and a distant 3rd, family/location. I’m a mercenary and as a CFB coach, this is the profession I— and my family— have chosen.
1.) LSU can pay me more.
2.) A successful stint at LSU can get me a Power 5 HC position. At Mizzou, there is zero history of that.
3.) My wife is closer to family.
If Baker stays, it’s because 1.) he feels more confident maintaining or improving the D at Mizzou than fixing the D at LSU 2.) He doesn’t envision a P5 job on table in the near term and G5 is acceptable and 3.) the pay difference is negligible.
