Where does the $1Mil come from? I thought the salaries weren't disclosed. Not saying you're wrong

Would it not make sense if Baker leaves to move Patke to all LBs, bump Telly to special teams, and let TRob and Simpson share the “co-DC” title since Manny is calling the plays anyway?
Per the LSU 247 board, he is flying in today and interviewing tomorrow. Not sure why they are not interviewing the same day.
But the highlight is the hot takes by their posters regarding Baker. i.e. He is a great linebacker coach and recruiter, Miami fans are crazy his defense was great the first year but it sucked this year because we lost a ton of starters on defense. Like our 3 Lbs, 2 deep at DE, our best corner in Bandy and a starter at DT in Bethel. So what did we expect to happen.
The posts are just great.

This thread is from January 2020. Did LSU renew their interest for Baker this off season?
Alabama? No one in college football history has the turnover Saban deals with. Pretty sure Temple hired our DC to be a head coach too. The last Miami coordinator to get a HC position was Schiano in 2000. So I’m not sure what raiding you’re even talking about.

At bigger schools a lot of times they are
I feel like this is a very well put response to why Manny kept Baker especially the part about the "fan's perspective."

I guess your being sarcastic but if he’s so bad why do top programs what him on their staff is all I’m saying. Case in point look at the offensive line coach for UNC who was coaching our line a couple of years ago. Many on here thought he was horrible meanwhile the ran for over 500 yards And went to a better bowl. I’m just saying

Yeah their takes on that board are crazy lol but we’ll just let them think that’ll be a great hire for them lol. They keep bringing up that he won’t be calling plays but shxt...we don’t even want him as a position coach HERE lol. For some reason they also think he’s a Louisiana/Texas recruiting guru

Some of them are attributing Baker's "demotion" - no longer calling plays- to something that happened between manny and Baker. I don't think a single poster on their board did any research into how the defense performed this year... All their citations are regarding 2019
They seem to think Orgeron sees Baker as being "experience" on staff for the guy they appear to be hiring as the new DC. He has no previous play-calling experience although he has coached in numerous places for a number of years. Baker would be a type of "insurance policy" if things go wrong there....

It’s 100% the defense and calling the plays. Manny was very unimpressed with Blake his first year , he’s taken the play calling multiple times.

If he feels this way about Baker, and seeing our LB’s last season, why does he keep him this year?

From LSU 247 in the past hour:
*** Another note to pass along on Miami defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Blake Baker. He's a candidate and he's very much a natural fit for the job, but he also makes around $700,000 and despite having his play calling duties stripped, it's tough to give up that type of salary as well. LSU pays very well of course, but for a linebackers coach, that might be tough when there are other options out there.

Travis Williams is also being brought in to interview with Orgeron. Seems like he may be a more affordable option with very good recommendations...
