per Megan:
Joe Rossi knows how Matt Simon feels.
Just last season, Rossi was the one stepping into a coordinator role at midseason after Gophers coach P.J. Fleck fired Robb Smith as defensive coordinator in November 2018.
Simon, who had been the Gophers receivers coach, assumed the offensive coordinator job Thursday after Kirk Ciarrocca left for Penn State ahead of Wednesday’s Outback Bowl.
Rossi said his advice to Simon was simple.
“You get called into duty, and you go out and do the best for the program and for the players. That’s all you need to worry about,” Rossi said Sunday. “Do your best. And if you can do that, you can have peace of mind that you’ve done your best, and then it’s a success.”
