per Pat:

The most interesting first looey in Minnesota sports at the moment is Tracy Claeys, the Gophers’ defensive coordinator. Claeys’ status with Jerry Kill was made clear last season, when Kill was having a health issue and Claeys served as the interim head coach.

I was thinking about coaches and first looeys last week, when Kill was talking about sitting on his couch, mixing yogurt and cookie-dough ice cream and watching Ohio State defeat Michigan State, and Claeys was talking about his quirky rule of never watching Big Ten games when he gets home on a Saturday night.

Made me wonder if the Kansas fellows are pals or is it strictly professional trust? A gent in the football department who will stay anonymous gave this scouting report:

“There’s an occasional stop for a cup of coffee for Jerry and Tracy, but socially, they are more like brothers. Most of us don’t hang out with our brother. We just love him.’’
