Tight ends coach Tony Dews, Secondary coach Tony Gibson and co-offensive coordinator Calvin Magee will all leave the Panthers’ coaching staff for other coaching opportunities. The three are reportedly joining newly hired head coach Rich Rodriguez at Arizona.

Dews, Gibson and Magee all worked with Rodriguez at West Virginia and Michigan.

Graham thanked the three coaches for their work this season.

“We will move expeditiously yet thoroughly in finding full-time replacements, and I know we’ll have some exceptional candidates to consider,” he said. “This is an opportunity for us to strengthen an already strong group of coaches and support staff.

“Moving forward, our coaches will be laser-focused on recruiting and having our team ready to play, and win, a bowl game.”
