per MLive.com:
Tracy Claeys isn't coming home, but he's definitely coming back.
When the University of Minnesota head football coach leads the Golden Gophers into the Quick Lane Bowl on Monday, Dec. 28 in Detroit at the home of the Detroit Lions, it'll be a return 20 years in the making for Claeys.
"For me personally, it's a lot of fun," Claeys said at a press conference at the Lions' practice facility in Allen Park. "My career started at Saginaw Valley State about 20 years ago with Coach (Jerry) Kill. We hosted the Lions for camp up there at that time. I just happened to be the liaison that worked with the Lions. I see a lot of familiar faces."
Claeys said the experience working with the Lions was an eye opener.
"I can remember Coach (Bobby) Ross coming up and walking through all the buildings (at SVSU) taking notes," Claeys said. "I think everybody at some time, you think about coaching at the highest level, whatever sport you have. It was really an eye opener to me how much detail was paid to everything in the NFL.
"It was a great experience, something I'll never forget."
