Former Gopher Jim Carter on Claeys: "He’s both a coach, but a very good teacher.”
per Shama:
“I think the recruiting will make all the difference in the world,” former Gophers captain Jim Carter told Sports Headliners. He, too, believes the unknown about Claeys’ legacy is probably recruiting.
Carter is an admirer of Claeys. “Not all coaches are teachers, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but Tracy is,” Carter said. “I’ve watched him for a number of years, since he’s been here with Kill.
“He never yelled much. He always gets people in the classroom after they film all the practices. He teaches technique, and he teaches the kids what to do. That’s unusual. He’s both a coach, but a very good teacher.”
Carter has been close to the Gopher program for years. He’s been impressed with what Claeys has done in a short period as head coach. That includes the bold move Claeys made after last season when he dismissed longtime colleague Matt Limegrover who was the offensive coordinator and line coach. Claeys replaced Limegrover with new offensive coordinator Jay Johnson and line coach Bart Miller.
“As far as hiring Miller and Johnson, the people that I talk to over there—which includes many of the players—are very optimistic about them,” Carter said. “They’re encouraged about the planning with the offense. They’re encouraged about the aggressiveness of Miller with the offensive line. He’s a tough guy and he’s getting toughness to rise up out of some of those offensive linemen. I see it as very, very positive, those moves that Tracy made bringing those two guys in.”
