Baker’s hiring created a partial reshuffling of the Miami football defensive staff. Jonathan Patke who had been named the Co-Defensive Coordinator with Banda under Richt will now remain as the outside linebackers coach as he had been previously and was going to remain as.
Patke was also named the Miami Special Teams Coordinator. Cornerbacks Coach Mike Rumph and Defensive Line Coach Jess Simpson will remain in their positions. Rumph is entering his fourth season on the Miami Coaching Staff and Simpson his second.
Rumph played collegiately at Miami and coached at American Heritage High School in Plantation.
