What's his connection to staff?

This answers my question - not listed on redskins website. So we hired a ex-NFL coach who doesn't have a job? Not impressed
I think he was coaching at GA Tech when they won their NC.
I'm sure he will be great. He hasn't stayed in one place very long though if we are looking for more stability.
The last player he recruited is 40 years old now. You don't stay employed in the NFL for 20 years not knowing how to coach but the recruiting aspect concerns me.
That's right.Quote:

We need a DL coach that can motivate players. Sounds like a player's coach, which is promising to me. Also, if the pro guys liked him recruits and mommas will probably like him too. That's a good first sign at least.Quote:

“All pass-rushers, once they get close to the quarterback, get enamored with the quarterback,” Baker said. “That quarterback almost starts to be a distraction. Obviously that's the target so you don't want to be distracted by the target. You want to see the guy because he's going to move, so do I concentrate on the tackle or the quarterback? Well, you have to feel the tackle, feel where his weight is at and anticipate where you are in relation to the quarterback. All those things are repetition. The get off ... and the angle ... we've got that down pretty good.”"

Kerrigan repeatedly credited Baker w/helping him improve pass rush angles, etc. But you know what?Coaches like to bring aboard 'their guys'.
“Before, I was straight up the hashes and now I'm cutting off inside,” he said. “That's how I know if I'm rushing on the right angle.”
The sack/fumble on the first play of the game against Indianapolis provided proof. He went straight at the tackle, doing what a rusher must do: quickly close the space between him and the tackle.
“When I got there I saw there was a little space on the edge and I was able to knock his hands down without getting too wide,” Kerrigan said.
Baker drills it into his players every day, with similar pass-rush drills that they performed in training camp.
“Even if it's on a Friday practice and things are lighter," Kerrigan said, "he'll be like, 'Stay on your track.'"
Has a good track record in the league among coaches and players it seems. Getting a very experienced NFL guy is usually a good thing.
