• Tulane’s preferences, salary numbers, and why Baker is a serious candidate

Will Lane Kiffin coach LSU in the bowl game ?
Ok, so here’s my question, Matt. If Blake leaves, does Kiffin bring Coach O in as the DC? Would Coach O take the DC job? He’s an amazing recruiter and loves LSU more than most people love their mom’s, and he’s a solid DC. Would LSU politics allow for that?
Nappier might be a good pick for Tulane.
Ed Orgeron ca. coach DL !!! 🙂
What about Cory Raymond and Frank Wilson?
I've done my LSU duty for the day! I ran around downtown St. Augustine today with my National Championship T-shirt on and there were a couple of times l feared for my safety! It was great!!!!!!!
Ole Miss owes Kiffin an apology. The way they treated him after 6 years there was F up. The Ole Miss Fans need to take a real close look at themselves and their culture. 1. Trying to Run Kiffin and his son off the road is an attempted murder. 2. Yelling obscenities and flipping him and his family off is uncalled for. 3. Lastly calling for the killing of an innocent animal on X ( Mike the Tiger) is a serious threat that the FBI should get involved and investigate in light of this current climate
Need to pay Blake baker and keep him and frank wilson and Corey Raymond Kevin peoples all need to be retained.
It’s awesome watching all the non lsu fans so in their feels saying just wait for bama to open up 😆
They still don’t get it!
LSU is the best job their own goat Nick has said it many times publicly he would have never left lsu !
So what do you think he would tell lane lol
Look also we are not you all if lane gets a few titles and gos pro god bless ya man thanks for the ride
We are different but I also think lane might stick it out knowing how pro ball is and how college is.
Geaux Tigers 🐅 we about to have fun !
Who cares if blake baker goes couch o needs to be in that spot recruits won't leave for other teams
Who wants to coach Tulane??? That’s such a short sided move. If Baker waits to bring home a Championship or another great season he will get offered an SEC job!
Olay miss. Sit down and Hush. GEAUX TIGAAS. Natties are coming to the ROUGE.
Laura Evans keep your powder dry. You may need it if your in for your life. Hilarious girl😂😂
