Rutgers has a new coach in place ... just not as offensive coordinator.
As coach Chris Ash's search for a play-caller and quarterback guru continues, Rutgers plans to promote director of player personnel Toby Neinas to an on-field coaching position, multiple sources told NJ Advance Media.
A NCAA rule change approved in April and going into effect Jan. 9 increases the maximum number of college football assistant coaches in each program from nine to 10.
Neinas essentially will take the extra spot created, though he only will be the eighth coach under contract as Rutgers still needs an offensive coordinator and defensive line coach.
