Fleck and Minnesota had familiarity with Hetherman.
Minnesota lost longtime defensive coordinator Joe Rossi this offseason as he made a lateral move to be the DC under new head coach Jonathan Smith at Michigan State. P.J. Fleck and the Gophers decided to go a familiar route and hire former Rutgers linebackers coach Corey Hetherman as his replacement.
"We kept that hire within the family, Corey was an instant fit though," Fleck said. "You talk about a football coach, I mean this guy eats, breaths and sleeps football. Really intelligent, our players really fell in love with him the minute he got in there and he was all ball and he's done a great job so far."
Hetherman has been a defensive coordinator at Maine and James Madison at the FCS level, but this season will be his first at the FBS level. He brings 20 years of coaching experience to Minnesota. At Big Ten Media Days Thursday, Fleck mentioned how the program also hired a new special team's coordinator, Bob Ligashesky.
