Will coaching changes improve a Dallas Cowboys defensive secondary that ranked dead last in total takeaways in 2015?


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. He went on to coach for the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Rams, Denver Broncos and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Cowboys. Baker has mainly been a defensive secondary or linebackers coach during his time coaching in the pros.

In order to fill Baker’s void, the Cowboys looked to an old NFC East foe to become the team’s new safeties coach. Greg Jackson played safety in the NFL for 12 years after being drafted by the New York Giants in the third round of the 1989 NFL Draft. Jackson won a Super Bowl with the Giants in 1991...

I’d expect more moves from this group this offseason as they prepare to be more competitive come September.
Glad to read this but still surprised we only drafted 1 CB and that wasn't until the 6th round.
