Ball State announced that safeties coach Terry Lantz will not return to the program for the 2013 season.
A news release sent by the athletics department said Lantz’s contract “has not been renewed.”
Ball State’s two safety positions in 2012 consisted of players becoming regular starters for the first time following the graduations of Sean Baker and Joshua Howard. Jarrett Swaby, Brian Jones, J.C. Wade, Chris Pauling and Chris Calloway all saw playing time at the two positions in 2012.
The safeties struggled to create turnovers last season as Jones was the only safety to record an interception. Swaby led all safeties with 71 total tackles on the season.
Lantz spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons as safeties coach at Ball State. He joined Lembo’s staff two months after he was introduced as the coach of Ball State in December 2010.
