The 2015 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team represented the University of Minnesota in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by fifth-year head coach Jerry Kill, who retired October 28, 2015 due to health reasons. Tracy Claeys^[1] replaced Kill on an interim basis and was named head coach two weeks later.^[2] The Gophers play their home games at TCF Bank Stadium. They are a member of the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. Minnesota finished the regular season with a record of 5-7. Despite finishing below .500, the Gophers were invited to the Quick Lane Bowl versus Central Michigan due to there not being enough bowl eligible teams and Minnesota's high Academic Performance Rating.^[3] Minnesota defeated Central Michigan 21-14.
