LSU is strongly pursuing Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Blake Baker according to a report from Doug Samuels of FootballScoop.Com. Former Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach Daronte Jones was hired by LSU earlier this month as their DC. Baker is potentially being pursued as Co-DC and linebackers coach.
Baker is currently the DC and inside LB coach for Miami. Baker lost his responsibility as the defensive play-caller for the Miami Hurricanes defense earlier this month. In a re-shuffling of the Miami coaching staff head coach Manny Diaz announced he would resume calling the Hurricanes defense during the 2021 season.
