The Texas Longhorns faced a setback earlier this month when they lost defensive line coach Bo Davis. However, recent reports from 247Sports reveal that the team has found a replacement in Kenny Baker, an assistant defensive line coach with the Miami Dolphins.
Described as one of the nation’s top emerging defensive line coaches, Baker comes to Texas after a successful season with the Dolphins in the NFL. During his tenure, the Dolphins ranked third in the league in sacks and seventh in run defense, showcasing Baker’s prowess in developing effective defensive strategies.
Before his time with the Dolphins, Baker spent three seasons at Western Kentucky, helping the team secure three consecutive bowl appearances and nurturing talents like DeAngelo Malone, who became the Conference USA Player of the Year and an NFL Draft pick.
With coaching experience at various levels, including stops at Tennessee Chattanooga and Mercer, Baker brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record to the Longhorns. Despite the challenge of filling Davis’s shoes, Baker’s rapid rise in the coaching ranks suggests he’s well-prepared to impact his new role at Texas significantly. Longhorns fans can anticipate how Baker’s expertise will shape the team’s defensive performance.
