Report: Two assistant football coaches expected to leave Minnesota

The college football coaching carousel is in full swing and it appears head coach P.J. Fleck and the Minnesota Golden Gophers will not be immune, if reports are to be believed.

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Ciarrocca is expected to leave for the same positions at West Virginia, under new head coach Neal Brown. Ciarrocca has been with Fleck since he was first hired at Western Michigan in 2013.

Defensive line coach Marcus West is also expected to depart for Charlotte, where he'll serve as co-defensive coordinator, assistant head coach, and defensive line coach.
