Gophers defensive line coach Jim Panagos is off to Rutgers after one year on P.J. Fleck's staff.

He will also helm the defensive line at Rutgers with coach Greg Schiano, who recently returned. The program announced the move Saturday. Panagos previously coached at Rutgers from 2012 to '15, though not with Schiano.

Rutgers went 2-10 this season, while the Gophers were 10-2 and await a Jan. 1 Outback Bowl against Auburn.

Many Gophers coaches have worked at Rutgers, including Fleck under Schiano, whom he calls a mentor.
