In January, the Dallas Cowboys lost their defensive secondary coach of the last four years, Jerome Henderson, to the Atlanta Falcons. In the wake of his departure, a month long search culminated in the promotion of his assistant. Joe Baker, to the position.
Baker, who was a wide receiver at Princeton University when now Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was a college quarterback, joined Dallas back in 2012 as an assistant secondary coach with a focus on their safeties.
Baker started his NFL coaching career in 1995 with the Jacksonville Jaguars as their assistant special teams coach.
