For his lone football hire as Boise State’s athletic director, Mark Coyle chose Bryan Harsin. Now the athletic director at Minnesota, Coyle has a vacancy to fill after Tracy Claeys was fired Tuesday.
The connection is hard to ignore, and Harsin has been rumored to be on the Gophers’ short list, though no reports have thus far confirmed any formal interview. KSTP-TV’s Joe Schmit reported Wednesday night Coyle met with Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck.
I can confirm that #Gophers AD Mark Coyle and Pres Eric Kaler did meet with PJ Fleck today in Chicago.
