Rutgers is preparing to hire Minnesota’s Kirk Ciarrocca as its next offensive coordinator, according to reports from Pete Thamel of ESPN.
Ciarrocca will takeover for Nunzio Campanile, who acted as the interim when the Scarlet Knights decided to move on from Sean Gleeson in October.
Rutgers brings in Ciarrocca after spending the 2022 season in the same role at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers averaged 28.2 points per game this season. Ciarrocca’s work with quarterbacks might be a reason Rutgers views him as the man for the job. He helped develop Tanner Morgan this year and also spent time working with Joe Flacco as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Delaware from 2002-07.
