After not being retained by Kevin Sumlin, Jahmile Addae has landed on his coaching feet.
Minnesota announced Thursday that Addae has been added by P.J. Fleck to his coaching staff. As he has recently, the former West Virginia Mountaineer football player will coach the Golden Gophers defensive backs.

Addae had spent the past five seasons at Arizona, the last two as safeties coach. That was his first on-field job at a Power Five program, one in which he assumed after serving as an analyst his first three seasons with the Wildcats.
Addae’s first on-field job came as running backs coach at Cincinnati from 2010-11. He entered the profession as a football video graduate assistant at his alma mater (2007), then moved on to a defensive graduate assistant position at Michigan (2008-09).
