MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota state university has reassigned its football coach to an administrative role, a month after he was cleared of child pornography charges that stemmed from cellphone videos of his naked children clowning around after a bath.

An attorney for Todd Hoffner immediately said his client would fight the move and seek reinstatement as head coach at Minnesota State, Mankato.

Hoffner has been given the position of assistant athletic director for facilities development, effective immediately, the university said in a news release issued late Friday. Hoffner would be responsible for helping develop the school's master plan for athletics and recreation facilities, the university said.

The school has no comment on whether Hoffner's reassignment was a mutual decision, university spokesman Dan Benson said in an email to the AP.

Hoffner's civil attorney, Chris Madel, told the Star Tribune that his client has no intentions of abiding by the university's decision.

"We intend to fight the university until Mr. Hoffner is restored as head coach of the successful football team he created," Madel told the newspaper.

The Associated Press left phone messages seeking comment by Madel and the attorney for Hoffner's union Friday night.

The school said Aaron Keen will remain acting head football coach for the Mavericks. Keen acted as head coach all season.

"Minnesota State Mankato will be making additional decisions regarding the head football coach position in the coming weeks," the news release said.

The Free Press of Mankato reported that Hoffner asked for an injunction earlier this month to keep the police investigative reports in his case sealed after a Twin Cities television station asked to see them. Hoffer is seeking a temporary restraining order that would keep anyone from disseminating the investigative file. Continued...
