San Jose State coach Ron Caragher has apparently wasted little time replacing departed offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty.

FootballScoop.com reported Wednesday that Dougherty will indeed accept Jim Harbaugh’s offer to join his staff at the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, the website reported that former Wolverines offensive coordinator Al Borges is expected to take over Dougherty’s spot at SJSU.

A team spokesman could not confirm either move and said he had not yet been contacted by Michigan.

A Borges hire would make plenty of sense and give the Spartans an experienced offensive playcaller. The Salinas native has been an offensive coordinator nearly every year since 1986, including a one-year stint at Cal.

Borges was out of coaching this past season, but spent the previous five with Brady Hoke (three at Michigan and two at San Diego State). Hoke did not retain Borges for the 2014 season and then was fired himself after a 5-7 campaign.

Borges’ San Diego State days were preceded by a three-year stint at Auburn that coincided with three of the years that Caragher spent in the SEC at Kentucky.

He and Caragher coached together from 1996-2000 when Borges was UCLA’s offensive coordinator and Caragher was the wide receivers coach. Borges was at Cal in 2001 for the final year of Tom Holmoe’s tenure and spent two years at Boise State (1993-94) when San Jose State athletic director Gene Bleymaier was in charge.
