NORMAL – Ghaali Muhammad-Lankford, one of the Illinois State football team co-offensive coordinators the past two seasons, has left the Redbirds to become running backs coach at New Mexico State.
“It has always been a goal of mine after playing FBS football to get back to FBS coaching,” said Muhammad-Lankford Tuesday. “It’s continuing to climb the ladder so to speak.”
Muhammad-Lankford was the ISU receivers coach for three years before serving as co-offensive coordinator in the spring and fall seasons of 2021 with C.J. Irvin. Muhammad-Lankford also held the title of offensive associate head coach on head coach Brock Spack’s staff.
