HUNTINGTON, West Virginia (Ticker) -- Former Cincinnati coach
Rick Minter on Friday was named defensive coordinator at
Marshall.
Minter coached Cincinnati from 1994-2003, posting 53 wins and
leaving as the school's winningest coach.
"I am extremely pleased to have someone of Rick's caliber join
our staff," Marshall coach Mike Snyder said. "Rick has a wealth
of experience and a record of success not only as a head coach
in Conference USA, but as a defensive coordinator and
linebackers coach at such places as Notre Dame and South
Carolina. He brings a lot of intangibles to our program."
Minter most recently served as defensive coordinator and
linebackers coach at Notre Dame from 2005-06 under Charlie Weis,
helping the Irish to two BCS bowls - the Fiesta Bowl and the
Sugar Bowl. He held the same position under Lou Holtz at Notre
Dame during the 1992 and 1993 seasons, helping the Irish to
back-to-back Cotton Bowl appearances.
