Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen apparently has filled the one coaching vacancy on his staff, as multiple reports say Brett Elliott – who had been the offensive coordinator at Texas State – is the Bulldogs’ new quarterback coach.
Mullen was looking for a quarterback coach after Brian Johnson left to become offensive coordinator at Houston for new Cougars coach Major Applewhite.
Elliott and Mullen have ties going back almost two decades. Elliott was a quarterback at Utah when Mullen was an assistant, and he also worked for Mullen as a grad assistant/quality control coach at Mississippi State in from 2012-14.
