Rutgers coordinator to leave for head coaching job

Rutgers will lose one of its top assistant coaches this offseason.

Scarlet Knights defensive coordinator Joe Harasymiak is expected to take the head coaching job at UMass, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel. The Bergen county native will sign a five-year deal with an annual salary hovering between $1.3 and $1.4 million, and is set to have a staff pool of more than $2.7 million that projects to be the highest staff pool in the MAC by a significant amount, per the report.
