MM 6.4: Maryland football to reportedly hire Henry Baker as cornerbacks coach

Maryland football is expected to fill its vacancy at cornerbacks coach with alum Henry Baker, with reports of Mike Locksley making the hire circling Wednesday.

Baker, who was a defensive back for the Terps from 1994-1997, fills the void left by previous cornerbacks coach Cory Robinson, who took a job as a defensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints in March. Baker served as the assistant defensive backs coach with the New York Giants in 2019.

Prior to his one year stint at the NFL-level, Baker spent time at multiple different NCAA programs, both in the FBS and FCS. He spent six seasons from 2011 to 2016 as the cornerbacks coach at Delaware, in which his unit ranked inside the top-25 in passing yards allowed and interceptions in his final year with the program.

Baker went on to hold cornerbacks coaching positions at Rutgers and North Carolina in 2017 and 2018, but now will reportedly return to his alma mater to lead head coach Mike Locksley’s cornerbacks group.
