Could Golden Gophers interim head coach Tracy Claeys earn the long-term job?
Don't be surprised if interim Minnesota head coach Tracy Claeys keeps the head coaching job full time.
A source told FOX Sports Wednesday that there are a lot of key supporters in Claeys' corner pushing for him to retain the job beyond just the rest of this season.
Claeys' mentor Jerry Kill was beloved by Gopher brass and the fact that Claeys is seen as an extension of the 54-year-old coach, who had to retire last week due to health concerns, is very compelling for power brokers at Minnesota, according to the source.
