Former Miami of Ohio head coach Shane Montgomery has taken the offensive coordinator job at Akron under Zips head coach J.D. Brookhart, Rivals.com has learned.

Montgomery compiled a 17-31 record from 2005-08 at Miami. He led the RedHawks to MAC East Division titles in 2005 and 2007 but failed to take the school to a bowl. Prior to ascending to the head coaching spot, Montgomery was offensive coordinator for the RedHawks under Terry Hoeppner, helping develop Ben Roethlisberger.

Montgomery, a star quarterback at NC State from 1987-89, replaces Joe Moorhead, who took the offensive coordinator job at Connecticut.
