On Thursday morning, Rutgers announced the hiring of Corey Hetherman as the new linebackers coach. There was one additional coaching spot open following the departures of four assistant coaches since the 2021 season ended. Bob Fraser served as linebackers coach the past two seasons and has long worked under head coach Greg Schiano throughout his career. It’s expected he remain at Rutgers in a different capacity yet to be announced.
Hetherman has been the defensive coordinator at James Madison the past three seasons and was named named the 2021 AFCA FCS Assistant Coach of the Year this past season.
