State's new RB coach, Brad Salem
Evidently, Michigan State University has hired their new RB coach out of Augustana State FWIW.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Augustana College football coach Brad Salem has resigned to take an assistant's job at Michigan State.
Salem will coach running backs for the Spartans. He compiled a 31-26 record in five seasons as Vikings head coach.
Augustana on Friday named defensive coordinator Mike Aldrich to succeed Salem.
Augustana State? Is this the best they can do?

Is he aware that Bobby Williams was the RB coach there? Maybe he can follow Dantonio once he loses a slap fight with himself.

Saban not the slap-happy John L. Smith.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
Damn it, you're right. Neg as required. I'll start by down-voting myself.

Once we learn more about this guy, I'm betting we find that he has "other skills" that make him a good fit...like he used to be a prison guard for 10 years, or his father runs a bail bondsman business in East Lansing.

Spartan nation doesn't sound incredibly thrilled with the hire, but he was a GA at MSU when Dantonio was there under Saban, so they have worked together, and Enos' resume wasn't much better before Dantonio hired him initially.

Uh, "Spartan Nation"? Is that what we're calling Ingham County now?
February 20th, 2010 at 11:01 PM ^
I believe "Spartan Nation" is located in Cell Block D.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
I think all he will be asked to do is keep the RBs out of jail. Good luck with that.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:38 PM ^
And is just being re-absorbed.

Its science.

Does this mean you didn't know that UM's new LB/S coach Braithwaite was promoted from being a "quality control staff member"?
February 20th, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
People are trying to make fun of MSU here. Stop introducing facts.
February 20th, 2010 at 11:53 PM ^
You are such a fun-sucker.

keep recruiting those right kind of guys Irish

just as long as UM continues recruiting RR's kind of guys, ooooo RRKG =)

like Dantonio, how can they go wrong??? (Insert sarcastic tone of voice...)

That dude was my gym teacher in high school. He was a really cool cat too, a real class act. It sucks that he went over there.

First off it's Augustana, not Augustana State. Augustana is a DII school in Sioux Falls, SD. I know because I went and played there. Coach Salem is a good coach and as someone above mentioned he was a GA at MSU in the past. Plus as Irish pointed out above we did just promote our quality control guy to LB coach so ripping on state is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

This is MSU's RB coach. I don't care who they hire.
