Former Mississippi State Coach Mason Miller Added By Tarleton State

Mississippi State football's former offensive line coach is headed back to the state of Texas.

Former Mississippi State offensive line coach/run game coordinator Mason Miller has found his next landing spot. On Tuesday, Tarleton State officially named Miller the offensive coordinator.

This marks a return for Miller, who coached for three years in Stephenville between 2014 and 2016.

It's something head coach Todd Whitten is excited about.

"I think so much of Mason Miller, he's a first-class person who I've worked with in the past," Whitten said in a statement from the university. "Our players really enjoyed his coaching style, and he has a knack for coaching, teaching and working with young men. He's a really smart, creative football coach. He's been with some of the best football minds out there, with Mike Leach and Hal Mumme and guys like that. He'll be good for our program and he'll be good for our players."

Miller spent plenty of time with former Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach and the Air Raid offense, making his way to Starkville when Leach was hired in 2020. 

In his final two seasons there, Miller's offensive line was ranked No. 2 in the SEC and No. 15 in the FBS in offensive line efficiency.

How he builds upon this success in a familiar place will be something to watch. With the move, he rejoins former MSU quarterback Daniel Greek, who announced his transfer to the program shortly after the end of the season when he entered the portal.
