DL Coach Baker contemplating return to NFL with Cowboys

Defensive line coach Brian Baker is contemplating a return to the NFL, but it won't be with the Carolina Panthers.

Baker, who was hired as the defensive line coach with the University of North Carolina last month, said Thursday he’s mulling over an opportunity to join the Dallas Cowboys as their defensive line coach, although he’s completely undecided at this point.

I have to sit down and talk with my wife about it when I get back to Charlotte in the next few days,” Baker said.

Sources said the Cowboys first made contact with Baker shortly after his contract expired with the Panthers. Baker called the Panthers out of respect, saying he was considering interviewing with the Cowboys. At that point the Panthers got into the mix, trying to convice Baker to return to join new head coach Ron Rivera’s staff, and some within the organization felt like he would return.

However, despite his immense respect for general manager Marty Hurney, things didn’t work out in Carolina and the Panthers moved on, hiring former Chicago Bears defensive line coach Eric Washington instead on Monday to take Baker’s old spot at defensive line.

Although his goal is to become a college head coach, Baker admits that the lure of “the star” in Dallas is intriguing.

No pro experience kind of worries me. HOWEVER, I think the man actually running the LBs will be RR himself. My gut thought is a seasoned guy wouldn't like the micro-managing of his group, so Rivera needed a newbie that would appreciate the jump to the pros and not second guess his meddling. Just a hunch....
