University Athletic Director Bob Moosbrugger announced Sunday morning that Mike Jinks has been relieved of his position as head coach of the football team. Defensive Coordinator Carl Pelini has agreed to serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season.
"I want to thank Coach Jinks for all of his efforts with our football program and in the BG community. However, we felt it was time to make a change in leadership,” Moosbrugger said. “These are not easy decisions, and we do not take this lightly. This affects 11 coaching families, 112 student-athletes and numerous support staff.
