A Closer Look at the Gophers' Coaching Staff Additions

The Gophers’ coaching staff is now set for next season.

Minnesota announced the hiring of Rod Chance as cornerbacks coach on Monday. Chance fills a vacancy opened by defensive backs coach Jahmile Addae, who left the program for a position at his alma mater, West Virginia. With the addition of Chance, Minnesota has officially set the coaching staff for 2019.

Last season, Rod Chance was a defensive analyst at Oregon and helped with certain aspects of the team’s innovative 3-4 defensive scheme. In past stops, Chance’s defenses have valued athletic, small and speedy cornerbacks with ball skills.
