Rutgers coach Greg Schiano has finalized his coaching staff with two hires just in time for the start of spring football practice Tuesday -- doing so with an unexpected twist.
Chris Rippon is out as the special teams coordinator, with former Maine defensive coordinator Robb Smith replacing him. Smith, who spent the past seven years at Maine -- the last three as defensive coordinator -- will also coach outside linebackers.
In addition, Randy Trivers, who served as running backs coach at Syracuse the past two seasons, will have the same job with the Scarlet Knights, replacing Gary Brown.
Brown left after one season at Rutgers to become running backs coach for the Cleveland Browns.
According to a release issued by Rutgers, Rippon left to pursue other opportunities after spending just one year with the Scarlet Knights.
The changes mark the second straight year that the Rutgers coaching staff has undergone a major upheaval, with Schiano hiring five new assistants last year.
In addition to bringing Smith and Trivers aboard, Schiano recently promoted Kirk Ciarrocca and Kyle Flood to co-offensive coordinators, replacing John McNulty.
McNulty left to become the wide receivers coach for the Arizona Cardinals.
Schiano also stepped down this winter as defensive coordinator, a position he has held since 2005. He promoted assistants Ed Pinkham and Bob Fraser by naming them co-defensive cordinators.
Trivers was the head coach at Northwest High School in Germantown, Md., prior to joining the Syracuse staff, compiling a 73-27 record. He coached current Rutgers safety Joe Lefeged at Northwest High.
