Candidate 2:Jon Hoke
Defensive Backs Coach
Jon Hoke enters his fourth season as the Texans defensive backs coach, directing one of the league’s most talented secondary units.
Hoke’s troops boast a formidable mix of young talent and veteran leadership. His defensive backs accounted for 18 of the Texans’ team-record 22 interceptions in 2004. Nine of those picks resulted in returns of 20 yards or more, tying the Texans for third in the league in that category. Dunta Robinson led all NFL rookies with six picks and three-time Pro Bowler Aaron Glenn picked off five passes, giving him 11 interceptions over his three seasons in Houston.
Veteran Marcus Coleman also made a successful transition from cornerback to free safety last season, picking off two passes and returning one a team-record 102 yards for a touchdown. Third-year cornerback Demarcus Faggins had by far his best season as the team’s nickel corner, picking off three passes and returning one for a score. And Hoke also helped fourth-round pick Glenn Earl crack the starting lineup as a rookie.
Houston’s pass defense has been strong in all three of its seasons. In 2003, Coleman turned in a career season, picking off a club-record seven passes, which tied him for first in the AFC. In 2002, Hoke helped Glenn make his third Pro Bowl as the Texans ranked 10 th in the NFL in pass defense, yielding just 196.3 yards per game through the air. Houston’s defensive backs picked off nine passes, recovered four fumbles and scored three touchdowns.
Hoke came to Houston after spending the previous three seasons as defensive coordinator at the University of Florida. Hoke replaced current University of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops at Florida in 1999, initially serving as defensive coordinator and secondary coach. In 2000, he added the title of assistant head coach.
Under Hoke, the Gators went to three consecutive New Year’s Day bowl games (Citrus, Sugar, Orange), won the 2000 Southeastern Conference championship and finished as high as No. 3 in both national polls (2001). Hoke’s ball-hawking defensive units forced 88 turnovers over three seasons.
In 2001, Florida led the SEC in total defense, scoring defense, first downs allowed, passing efficiency defense and third-down conversion defense. UF ranked ninth nationally in total defense, fifth in scoring defense, 12th in rushing defense and 13th in passing defense – the only SEC school to rank in the top 15 in all four categories. The Gators yielded just 19 touchdowns, the fourth-fewest in the country, and only five aerial scores, tying national champion Miami for fewest nationally.
In 2000, Hoke’s defense led the country with 40 turnovers. His 1999 unit ranked ninth in the nation in rushing defense and paced the conference with 43 sacks.
Hoke arrived in Gainesville after five seasons tutoring the defensive backs at Missouri. The Tigers earned bowl bids in Hoke’s last two seasons, thanks in large part to a defense that forced 48 turnovers, leading to 208 points. Hoke helped Mizzou rank 22nd in the nation in scoring defense in 1998, yielding UM’s fewest points in 15 years. Hoke also coached the Tigers’ kick block team, which blocked 11 extra points, seven punts and five field goals in his five seasons in Columbia.
Prior to coaching at Missouri, Hoke spent four years at Kent State, coaching defensive backs all four seasons and adding the title of defensive coordinator in his final season. He coached defensive backs and special teams at San Diego State from 1987-88 and launched his coaching career in the same capacity at Bowling Green in 1983, helping the Falcons win the Mid-American Conference title with an 11-0 mark in 1985.
Hoke was a four-year letterman at Ball State (1976-79), earning All-MAC honors as a defensive back. He earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education before playing in 11 games for the Chicago Bears in 1980.
A native of Kettering, Ohio, Hoke and his wife, Jody, have four children – Mallory, Kyle and twins Kendall and Carly. The family lives in Sugar Land.

Candidate 3:
Position: Linebackers
Bob Babich, in his second season as the Bears linebackers coach, was hired on January 17, 2004, after serving in the same capacity for the St. Louis Rams in 2003. Babich was the first coach to join head coach Lovie Smith's new staff in Chicago, following his former defensive coordinator from St. Louis to the Bears. Smith and Babich first worked together in the collegiate ranks at Tulsa (1984-86) where Smith oversaw the linebackers and Babich worked with tight ends and assisted with the offensive line.
The 19-year college coach, in his third year coaching NFL linebackers and ninth year overall at the position, had a successful first year with the Bears and his linebacker corps led by four-time Pro Bowler Brian Urlacher and 2005 Pro Bowl alternate Lance Briggs. His unit greatly contributed to Chicago's improved takeaway total in 2004 and the team-record six defensive touchdowns.
With St. Louis, Babich was part of the Rams 2003 defense which improved six ranking positions in points allowed from 2002 while jumping from 22nd in the NFL to first with 46 takeaways including a League-leading 22 fumble recoveries. St. Louis defenders also ranked fourth in the NFL in sacks in 2003, up from seventh in 2002.
Prior to joining the Rams, Babich spent six seasons as head coach at North Dakota State University (1997-2002). In his first head coaching job, Babich amassed a 46-22 career mark by posting five winning seasons with two NCAA Division II playoff appearances. The Bison were 9-2 in the regular season in his first year in 1997 and 12-1 in 2000, reaching the national semifinals before losing to eventual national champion Delta State. Babich's son, Bobby, played for his dad at NDSU and is in his third season as a starting cornerback for the Bison.
A native of Aliquippa, Pa., Babich served 12 seasons as an assistant coach at the NCAA Division I level at five different schools, most recently instructing linebackers at Pittsburgh (1994-96). Babich began his career as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Tulsa (1984), before being promoted to tight ends coach (1985), assistant offensive line (1986) and strong safeties (1987). Babich was an assistant at Wisconsin for two seasons, one as an assistant offensive line coach (1988) and one as tight ends coach (1989). Babich coached linebackers at Bowling Green (1991) and East Carolina (1992-93) before joining the Panthers in 1994.
Babich and his wife, Nancy, have one son, Bobby, and a daughter, Janie.
