P.J. Fleck offers soft landing for 3 of Kyle Flood's Rutgers assistants at Minnesota

Three former Rutgers coaches who were out of work in 2016 following the dismissal of Kyle Flood and all his assistants have resurfaced in smaller roles at Big Ten rival Minnesota.

Norries Wilson, who was Flood's assistant head coach and offensive line coach, is the latest to join P.J. Fleck's staff, as first reported last week by CoachingSearch.com. He is the Director of Player Development, overseeing the day-to-day operation for the football student-athletes and working in conjunction with the coaching, recruiting, academic and communication staffs.

For Wilson, it's an opportunity to return to his alma mater, where he was a captain and two-year starter in the 1980s.
