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.
