Coach Baker

Well, he's not wrong. Knowles creates chaos every time he steps on the field.

It's gif placement like this that Al Gore had in mind when he created the internet.
 
I would say special teams, but the guy watched that dude from FSU juke him on the punt return like it was a dance off for crying out loud. Kid just not a good ball player. Effort only takes you so far.

Go Canes!

Asked to weigh in on adding CB Christian Williams on signing day, Baker said, “I know coach (Mike) Rumph had a relationship with him, we were in the market for a corner and he was a guy that checked all the boxes for what we were looking for. Coach Rumph did an outstanding job.

“He’s a perfect fit for us, and we were a perfect fit for him.”

Baker also said that while Williams will be at cornerback that he also could play safety.

“A guy with his size, speed and physicalness, he’ll definitely be a corner but in a pinch he could play safety,” Baker said.
 
They share similar philosophies, and Baker calls Diaz “like an older brother to me.”

But, as Baker put it Wednesday afternoon, “We’ve been away from each other - both defenses have evolved in different ways.”

Baker added that “It was a great period of growth for me being away from (Diaz) for four years, figuring out some stuff on my own.”

Don’t expect much different, though.

“Philosophically we’re exactly the same,” Baker said. “That’s what made this a smooth transition - terminology we’re exactly the same, maybe some things evolution-wise the past four years have changed on both sides. Going to talk through those things, see what he thinks of it.”

Baker says he thinks when it comes to calling the defense during games that with Diaz now the head coach “I think he’ll stay hands off. But at the same time that’s what he does and we’ll welcome it with welcome arms - one, he’s the head coach, two he’s a great defensive mind. He taught me everything I know. But from a head coach standpoint he’ll want to stay out of it, stay neutral. At the end of the day he’s a great asset.”
