Former Rutgers OC Sean Gleeson expected to land at Northwestern

Former Scarlet Knight offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson is reportedly on his way to accepting a job within the same conference.

According to FootballScoop, Gleeson is expected to join Northwestern as a senior offensive analyst. Gleeson was fired by Rutgers during the 2022 season after a historically bad offensive start to the year.

On Oct. 7, Rutgers suffered a 14-13 loss to Nebraska where it did not score in the second half. This closed a five-game stretch against FBS teams where Rutgers averaged 14.2 points, 284 total yards, and held a 25.7% third-down conversion rate.

In 2020, Greg Schiano brought Gleeson onto the staff in his first season back in Piscataway.
