Everyone already knows Baker is a defensive playcalling savant and LB guru, but I really wish that article hadn't blown up our spot about Baker's recruiting skills. Dude always has a recruiting ace up his sleeve.
Monday coaching search tidbits: Assistant name to know
What's the latest buzz on LSU's defensive coordinator search?247sports.com
*** On top of that, LSU would have to hire a linebackers coach with Jones as the defensive coordinator. The name we're hearing the most is Miami defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Blake Baker. After 2019 in which Miami ranked 13th nationally in total defense and 12th in yards per play, things have changed between Baker and head coach Manny Diaz, who assumed play calling duties during the season.
Prior to arriving in Coral Gables, Baker spent the previous four seasons as defensive coordinator at Louisiana Tech. Under Baker’s direction, the Bulldogs defense ranked among the nation’s best in several categories. In 2018, Louisiana Tech was fourth nationally in team sacks (3.46 per game), 12th nationally in team tackles for loss (7.8) and 33rd nationally in turnovers gained (22).
The Houston native was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at Tulane from 2000-04, helping lead the Green Wave to a win in the 2002 Hawaii Bowl. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Tulane in 2008.
Clearly, Baker has ties to Louisiana and is a solid recruiter from what we've gathered. His name makes sense with maybe a change of scenery necessary. We'll keep an eye on him if he does in fact make a move.
Going to be hard to replace that sort of impact on the trail combined with really good LB developmental coaching and defensive tactical/schematic mastery.
We will miss you Coach Baker.

I don't know what that word means. But if it's an offensive word then I only know one guy that can defend against it...Blake Baker.

He's one of the best and most underrated coaches in the country. Him leaving would be a HUGE loss. I highly doubt we'd ever find someone to replace such a great coach and person.

Our defensive play will mos def take a step back in 21 if Baker leaves. I guess that means next man up, Patke you are now on the clock.

Manny can’t let baker leave. he’d never be able to explain it if he succeeded elsewhere.

F@ck. Say it aint so. I really like Baker and want him to be a Cane for the long haul, and was hoping he'd eventually replace Manny
down the line.
This will sting.

****. Would really suck if Baker left us so late in the game right now. Might have to settle for whatever LB coach is available, like Travis Williams
