Claeys shakes up Gophers coaching staff

Gophers' coach Tracy Claeys is already making coaching moves following his team's loss to Wisconsin on Sunday.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Tracy Claeys fired offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover and quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski on Sunday, acting swiftly and decisively as he embarks on his first offseason as a head coach.

Claeys made the moves one day after the Golden Gophers lost to Wisconsin to finish 5-7 overall and 2-6 in the Big Ten. Claeys took over as coach with five games remaining after Jerry Kill was forced to retire because of epilepsy.
