The Miami Hurricanes have their defensive coordinator. Minnesota defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman will be taking the same position with the Canes.

In games against FBS opponents, Minnesota finished 10th nationally in scoring defense (18.3 PPG), 14th in yards per play (4.7) and 19th in yards per pass attempt against (6.3).

Like Mario Cristobal, the 44-year-old Hetherman comes from the Greg Schiano coaching tree, having coached linebackers at Rutgers from 2022-23.

Hetherman had tremendous success at the FCS level. In 2021, he was named AFCA FCS Assistant Coach of the Year after coordinating James Madison's No. 2-ranked defense in the nation. He also served as Maine's defensive coordinator from 2016-18, leading the FCS in rushing defense, interceptions and fumble recoveries in his final season.

Hetherman is a Massachusetts native who played quarterback at Fichburg State from 2003-06.

Perich is gonna be tough. Turned down OSU out of HS. From a small town in the northern part of MN. Wasn’t really his recruit either. Loves Fleck.

if this is the case, i don't want him. i prefer we plays games late into the fourth quarter only to need a miracle to win at the end. it is more funner that way.

Nick Monroe is their current DB coach. That name has been mentioned for years in Canes searches I feel like.

Would take him as DB coach. Good coach and very good recruiter. And he has recruited florida heavy

@Cribby Is this the "Didn't see that one coming"?
Obviously, he's been a DC so takes that off the board.

Nah this one has been talked about on this board for weeks

He was the name people here would know . I like this much more than the one out of left field.

I don't remember if it was you or Memnon that vouched for this dude but I'm in either way.... Hope it gets done...

Leave it to Mario to go hire a gopher to fix a defense that was buried in the ground all last year

If he and Mario can add a certified “dude” as a DB coach I’ll be content. Was hoping for someone with more P4 experience, but a well disciplined and synced up defense is what we need
