Head coach  Dan Mullen brought in his old college teammate, Scott Sallach, to coach tight ends for the Bulldogs' offense after Sallach spent the past 11 seasons in the Ivy League.

A veteran of more than 15 years coaching on the collegiate level, Sallach comes to Mississippi State after a six-year stint at Princeton, where he coached wide receivers and quarterbacks. He added the title of passing game coordinator prior to the 2008 season.

Before his stop at Princeton, Sallach worked at Dartmouth College for five seasons (1998-2002), Monmouth for three seasons (1995-97) and Hamilton College for one season (1994).

At Dartmouth, he coached the wide receivers while assisting with the special teams, specializing in kickoffs and kickoff returns.

Sallach who, along with Mullen graduated from Ursinus College in 1994 with a bachelor of science degree in exercise and sport science, took his first football job at Hamilton College in 1994 as an assistant coach. After one season there, he spent three years at Monmouth as an assistant coach. In both positions, Sallach was responsible for coaching wide receivers.
