Source: Receivers coach Lonnie Galloway leaving WVU to be named co-offensive coordinator at Louisville.

Plenty of NCAA tournament talk to cover today, but let’s begin this day with where we ended the last one. WVU’s losing a fourth assistant coach — two were not retained, two now have left for ACC jobs — as Lonnie Galloway, the highest-paid non-coordinator on the staff, will help run the offense at Louisville. He’ll share the coordinator duties with Chris Klenakis. In addition to the title, Galloway will sign a multi-year contract for a salary he would not have come close to here unless or until he was named coordinator. It’s a strong move for him and not exactly great timing for WVU: Spring football started yesterday.

Interestingly, and perhaps with an explanation as simple as “This is a contract extension and not a new contract,” is the absence of a clause to compensate WVU for Galloway’s early exit from the contract. Contracts that offensive coordinator Joe Wickline and safeties coach Matt Caponi — I don’t have one for Blue Adams yet — have the following:

That said, I highly doubt Dana Holgorsen would deny a “release”to Galloway in this situation — more years, more money and an elevated role — or to many other coaches.
