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.

Looks like Chevis Jackson is headed to Wake Forest so expect Hetherman to bring along some of his assistants.

He was never returning. This is a Mario type move . Just like Salivea

Am I wrong?

Does this fanbase not chew Coaches up & spit'em out for breakfast?

Hethermen could literally be the best DC in America with the #1 ranked Defense & there will be a contingency of fans who will want him fired & blame our season coming up short on him.

Guarantee it.

@Memnon the heck with them, when you get that chance give the rest of us that write up on Hethermen.
There'll be plenty of criticism and DC hate this time in '26...let's not put the cart before the horse.
