ESPN: Coaching changes recap: B1G West Division (MN: Who's Out? Are you kidding?)

[BleedGopher]

ESPN profiles the coaching changes in the West Division. On the Gophers:

MINNESOTA
Who's out?

Are you kidding?

Notes: Status quo for the Gophers after two straight eight-win seasons. Coach Jerry Kill's staffers, including strength coach Eric Klein, have worked together for a combined 131 years, more than any staff nationally. Defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys has been with Kill for 20 seasons; offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover for 16 and so on. Their longevity pays obvious dividends. Little changes look big for the Gophers, such as the switch last year of Brian Anderson to coach receivers and Pat Poore to running backs.

Thanks for the link, Bleed. I noticed that Tim Salem was fired at Illinois. He was the special teams coordinator the past 3 seasons. He appears to have landed on his feet though as he is now the tight ends coach for Pat Narduzzi at Pitt.

Georgia: Per source, Georgia plans to move running backs coach Bryan McClendon (the 2014 FootballScoop RB Coach of the Year) to wide receivers, and will hire Wisconsin running backs coach Thomas Brown to coach the Bulldog running backs. Update >> Georgia has now announced the moves, and added the McClendon will also add the title of pass game coordinator.

From what I understand, Brown was one of wisky's better recruiters as well.
