The “Jay Sawvel to Wake Forest” talk is now officially confirmed.
The former Minnesota defensive coordinator takes over a unit that wasn’t too bad last season according to the key advanced stats.
Jay was a Minnesota fan favorite during his time here, as Gophers fans starved for a defense appreciated the work he did turning less heralded defensive back recruits into NFL draft picks.
He was also a fun follow on Twitter, leading to the time Tom Dienhart made a fool of himself and Sawvel started dropping cold blooded subtweets (he deleted the coldest ones but you can find the text of them at the link).
