Gonzales: Lobo football ‘won’t skip a beat’ despite loss of assistants to Oregon

A busy offseason has gotten busier for University of New Mexico football coach Danny Gonzales after the Lobos have had two assistants hired away by Oregon.

Most recently, Jordan Somerville, 25, who was the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator at UNM, is leaving to become a quarterbacks analyst with the Ducks, Yahoo Sports reported on Monday night.

Gonzales said a national search will be conducted for the vacant spots that Somerville and Drew Mehringer held, and the Lobos will “continue to move forward.”

Somerville was instrumental in the Lobos’ strong presence on social media with regard to recruiting.
