BTN: Big Ten coordinators who could become head coaching commodities (Tracy Claeys)

[BleedGopher]

per Dienhart:

Tracy Claeys, Minnesota, offensive coordinator. He has been at Jerry Kill’s side since 1995, when Claeys joined Kill’s Saginaw Valley State as defensive line coach. Since then, Claeys has become one of the most respected defensive minds in the nation while following Kill to Emporia State, Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois and Minnesota. Claeys, 46, has helped transform Minnesota’s defense since he has been in charge. Minnesota allowed 380 points in 2011 and 321 points in 2012. In 2013, the Gopher defense allowed only 289 points, which was the first time that Minnesota didn’t allow 300 points in a season since 2004 when it allowed 273 points in 12 games (allowed 285 points in 13 games in 2003).

Others to watch:
Chris Ash, Ohio State co-defensive coordinator
Tim Beck, co-offensive coordinator, Ohio State
Matt Limegrover, Minnesota offensive coordinator

You have to wonder if it's either on purpose or some sort of subconscious slight.

Geez. Just give it up Dienhart. Limey and Tracey are Kill's guys.

To be fair, it is obvious from the entire article that he knows TC is a defensive coordinator.

If like me you were wondering how many points we allowed last year...it was 314.

I do think Limegrover would be a good head coach candidate, but I have never heard his name mentioned anywhere as a possible candidate?

After Antonio Thompson left, Claeys thought it would be neccesary to switch to a different side of the ball.
