The Rutgers coaching staff will have at least two new faces in 2018.

Four days after offensive coordinator Jerry Kill retired, defensive line coach Shane Burnham resigned with plans to take another job after two seasons at Rutgers, NJ Advance Media has confirmed.

ScarletNation.com first reported that Burnham is leaving to take the same post at Central Florida, which just hired Josh Heupel as head coach when Scott Frost left for Nebraska on the heels of an undefeated regular season. Heupel, who left Oklahoma, and Burnham share Big XII roots.

Burnham, who welcomed his fourth child with his wife during the season, grew up in Tallahassee, Fla. when his father Wally was a longtime defensive coordinator at Florida State under Bobby Bowden. He played college football at South Carolina.

The younger Burnham was hired by Rutgers coach Chris Ash in December 2015 after they worked together as assistants on the Iowa State defensive staff in 2009. Ash moved on to Wisconsin, Arkansas and Ohio State while Burnham remained at Iowa State through 2015.

Burnham handled Florida recruiting for Iowa State but Rutgers has lessened its focus on Florida under Ash. He also has family in the Sunshine State.

Rutgers said goodbye to two senior defensive line starters (Kemoko Turay and Sebastian Joseph) and a third contributor (Darnell Davis). The position group figures to be among the youngest and most inexperienced on the 2018 team.

Rutgers signed Matthew Thomas and Jamree Kromah to national letters of intent earlier this week. Rutgers lost defensive lineman Khris Banks of DePaul Catholic to Temple and commit Kaymar Mimes chose not to sign on the eve of signing day.

National predict a join mass exodus of assistant coaches across college football in the final days of the month, delayed from the usual end of the season because of the inaugural early signing period.

Burnham earned $275,000 in 2017, on the first year of a two-year extension received last offseason.

Rutgers changed three assistant coaches last offseason: Offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, cornerbacks coach Aaron Henry and running backs coach Zak Kuhr. The search for a ninth offensive coordinator in nine years is underway, with Ash still conducting first interviews with potential candidates.
