Youngstown State defensive coordinator Rick Kravitz will not be back with the team, according to the coaching website Footballscoop.com.

Kravitz, a St. Petersburg, Fla., native, was defensive coordinator the past two seasons under head coach Eric Wolford. YSU gave up 25.7 points per game this fall, fourth-best in the nine-team league. But the Penguins gave up 38 points in a loss to Missouri State in the season finale.

Wolford will look to bring in an outside candidate to replace Kravitz, the website reported.
