Who's Jesse Minter? He's Michigan assistant, MSJ grad who could replace Luke Fickell at UC

One of the hottest names in college coaching once caught passes at Mount St. Joseph University while his father, Rick Minter, was the University of Cincinnati's head coach.

Michigan's much-celebrated defensive coordinator after the Wolverines' smashing of Ohio State, Jesse Minter is a hot commodity, so much so, he's been mentioned as a possible replacement for former Cincinnati Bearcats football coach Luke Fickell after his abrupt departure Sunday for Wisconsin.

Before he dialed up blitzes and halted potent offenses, Minter was a journeyman receiver for the Division III Lions on the West Side of Cincinnati.
