Per Athlon:
Joe Rossi, Defensive Coordinator, Minnesota
Rossi took over as the program's interim defensive signal-caller during the '18 campaign and was eventually promoted to the full-time role at the end of the regular season. After giving up 5.93 yards a snap in '18, the Golden Gophers cut that total to 5.1 the following year. Minnesota's defense ranked fourth in the Big Ten in fewest yards per play allowed (4.86) in '21 and ranked sixth last fall (4.98).
Matt Simon, Co-Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers Coach, Minnesota
Simon is set to take over the play-calling duties in '23 after working as the team's wide receivers coach since '17. The former Northern Illinois receiver already has experience calling plays for the Golden Gophers, as he worked as the team's primary coordinator in bowl wins against West Virginia ('21) and Auburn ('19). Simon also thrives at developing receivers in Minneapolis, as Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman both became stars under his tutelage.
Go Gophers!!
