per the Detroit News:

Rob Reeves is returning home with the opportunity to show what he can do as offensive coordinator of Minnesota's football program when the Gophers play Central Michigan Monday in the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field.

Reeves, who attended Saline High School, was an All-American quarterback at Saginaw Valley State University while playing for head coach Jerry Kill. He then became a grad assistant at Saginaw Valley before following Kill to Emporia State (1998-2000), Southern Illinois (2001-07), Northern Illinois (2008-10) and then Minnesota in 2011.

"It's always exciting to come back home," said the 42-year-old Reeves. "When we played Michigan and Michigan State it's been great times, especially when we won the Jug there two years ago at Michigan. That win was a major highlight in my career and we had a lot of family and friends there.

"It's always exciting for me to come back to where football began for me."

Could it be that he is auditioning to be the permanent OC?
 



The Gopher offense will roll and Reeves will be the next OC. This would be the best outcome possible for the team and this staff and this head coach as they head into the 2016 and 2017 Big Ten Seasons. There are better times ahead in 2016 and 2017 than the Gopher saw in 2015. Reeves will be the new OC. Of course I am guessing...of course, they don't consult with me...but...that is what I am thinking is going to happen. He will be an "old guy" at a new coaching position who will be able to utilize his knowledge of the players and talent on hand and will find ways to get playmakers out on the edges and in space. Things are setting up somewhat nicely....
