13 Mar
Summary
- New coach Jacori Greer always dreamed of coaching in the Big 12 Conference.
- Greer prioritizes building relationships with players and their families.
- He aims to create an aggressive defensive line under Coach Aranda.
Baylor's new defensive line coach, Jacori Greer, expressed his long-held aspiration to coach within the Big 12 Conference, a key factor in his decision to join the Bears. Greer, who arrived in Waco in late December, highlighted the conference's style of play and competitive environment as ideal for developing explosive defensive linemen.
Greer's immediate priority has been establishing connections with his new players and the coaching staff. He is dedicating time to understanding their personal backgrounds and families, fostering a close-knit team environment. This relationship-building phase precedes a deeper dive into football strategy.
Coaching under the respected Dave Aranda was another significant draw for Greer. He is enthusiastic about Aranda's defensive vision and the autonomy given to defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman. Greer believes this collaborative dynamic will be instrumental in the success of Baylor's defensive line.
