Michigan State football announced Thursday night it has hired former Buffalo Bills safeties coach Jim Salgado as the new cornerbacks coach.
Salgado spent the last six seasons with the Bills, serving first as a defensive assistant before coaching the nickel backs and then the safeties for head coach Sean McDermott. Last season, Buffalo was 15th in the NFL in passing yards allowed. Salgado was fired after Buffalo was bounced out of the AFC playoffs by the Bengals.
“Jim Salgado is an excellent, experienced football coach,” said MSU head coach Mel Tucker in a released statement.
