During Baalke’s tenure, the 49ers have appeared in three consecutive NFC Championship Games (2011–13) and Super Bowl XLVII, while tallying a 5-3 postseason record.

Since 2010, the year Baalke began to oversee all player acquisitions as the team’s vice president of player personnel, the 49ers draft and free agent classes have produced significant returns. In that span, six of the players acquired have accounted for eight All-Pro selections, while eight of those players have earned Pro Bowl honors.

At the completion of the 2014 season, 46 players acquired under Baalke’s direction remained on the 49ers active roster. Among that group were 18 draft picks, including eight regular starters and five key contributors because of Jim Harbaugh. Under Baalke’s watch, the 49ers have selected 58 players in the last six drafts. Of those drafted players, 34 entered training camp with the team in 2015, and 16 have already logged starts for the team because of Jim Harbaugh.<br> |

|
|
<br> |
|
|
Under Baalke’s direction, the 49ers organization has gone to great length’s to provide its players and coaches with all the resources necessary for sustained success in the NFL. In recent years the team has made significant improvements to its practice facility, including the renovation of the coaches offices and meeting rooms, brand new practice fields, and a new strength and conditioning facility.

Before joining the Redskins, Baalke spent three seasons (1998-00) as a scout with the New York Jets.<br> |
|
|
<br> |
|
|
From 1990-95, Baalke held the position of defensive line/strength and conditioning coach at South Dakota State. In that role, he helped promote players such as former Pro Bowl guard Adam Timmerman and current NFL kicker Adam Vinatieri to NFL scouts. Baalke then spent time as the athletic director at Shanley High School in Fargo, ND, before moving on to the Jets.<br> |
|
|
<br> |

Baalke began his coaching career as a graduate assistant defensive line coach at North Dakota State, in 1989. The team finished with a 14-0 record and a Division II National Championship.<br> |

<br> |

A double major at Bemidji State (MN), Baalke received his bachelor's degree in health and physical education.

Following a home game for the 49ers on Thanksgiving Day, 2014, in which the division-rival Seattle Seahawks defeated the 49ers 19-3, Baalke's daughter Cass stirred up a minor scandal when she suggested in a tweet that Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman should be dismissed from the team.
