LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker is reportedly garnering interest for a head coaching vacancy. According to On3, Barker is a top candidate for Tulane’s head coaching opening.
Tulane is looking for another head coach after Jon Sumrall accepted the position to replace Billy Napier at Florida. The Green Wave reportedly interviewed Baker for the opening on Monday. This comes as new LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is pushing to keep 43-year-old Baker on his staff.

Tulane is currently ranked No. 20 in the College Football Playoff rankings with a 10-2 record. The Green Wave will take on No. 24 North Texas in the American title game on Friday (8 p.m. ET/ABC).
LSU’s defense this season is allowing 18.3 points under Baker, which ranks 15th nationally. This comes despite LSU getting rid of head coach Brian Kelly mid-season.
Baker was previously the defensive coordinator at Missouri, where he helped the Tigers to an 11-win season in 2023.
