East Lansing, Mich. – Michigan State head football coach Mel Tucker has named Jim Salgado the program’s cornerbacks coach.
Salgado, who has nearly 30 years of coaching experience, spent the past six seasons with the Buffalo Bills (2017-22). He arrived in Buffalo in 2017 and spent his first three seasons as a defensive assistant. Salgado was promoted to nickelbacks coach in 2020 and was the team’s safeties coach in 2022.
Salgado fills the opening created by former pass-rush specialist Brandon Jordan's departure to the NFL. He'll work with secondary coach Harlon Barnett, who oversees the safeties.
