BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The LSU defense has enjoyed a major turnaround this year, and coordinator Blake Baker is leading the way. Baker is a former Tulane linebacker who has worked his way through the coaching ranks to become one of college football’s most well-respected defensive coordinators.

Two veteran head coaches who worked with Baker - Will Muschamp and Skip Holtz - share their thoughts on their prodigy’s impressive rise.

We also hear from Jay Johnson, who loves the fact that Baker wears an LSU baseball cap on the sideline.

And then there’s Baker’s wife, Roslyn, a former LSU soccer standout who is certainly loving her time in Baton Rouge with her husband and their three children.
