Just days after Northern Illinois defensive coordinator Jay Niemann left DeKalb for the sunny city of Piscataway, it seems as if offensive coordinator Bob Cole will also be leaving the program. Per The Football Scoop, sources have indicated that Cole "will not return" as OC for Northern Illinois.
Cole, who has been with the program since 2011, has seen a great amount of success in DeKalb, spending the last three seasons as the Huskies' offensive coordinator after two surefire seasons as a positions coach. In 2011, Cole spent a season as wide receivers coach before being placed as quarterbacks coach in 2012.
