Brian Kelly and LSU named Missouri's Blake Baker as its new defensive coordinator on Friday.
The deal is for three years and is expected to pay Baker $2.5 million per year and will make him the highest-paid assistant in college football, a source told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Baker, who joined Eli Drinkwitz's staff in Columbia as defensive coordinator and safeties coach prior to the 2022 season, replaces Matt House.
"Blake brings a wealth of experience and success as a defensive coordinator throughout his career, including the last two years in the SEC at Missouri," Kelly said in a statement released by the school.
