Minnesota defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, who received a raise and contract extension in December, is leaving the Gophers to take the defensive coordinator job at Miami (Fla.), a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Star Tribune on Saturday.

Minnesota defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman has resigned his post with the Gophers and accepted the same position at Miami.

The Hurricanes ranked 68th nationally in scoring defense, allowing 25.3 points per game — a number that ballooned to 30.8 points per game in conference play. In Guidry’s first season as defensive coordinator, Miami allowed an average of 22.8 points per game but only gave up more than 40 points in a game once compared to three times this season.
