Bobcats Land Veteran Receivers Coach
3/23/2009 12:00:00 AM | Football
Brian Von Bergen, receivers coach at Miami (Ohio) University for the past decade, has joined the Montana State football coaching staff in the same capacity, Bobcat coach Rob Ash announced Monday.
Von Bergen served as Miami's recruiting coordinator during his tenure there, and coordinated the RedHawks' passing game since 2005. A 1992 Illinois graduate, Von Bergen was in his second stint at Miami, after serving as volunteer coach (1992) and graduate assistant (1993-95). He also coached running backs at Southern Illinois (1996), and was Director of Football Operations at Northwestern (1997-99) before returning to Miami.
"I'm thrilled that we were able to find a receiver coach with so much Division I experience," Ash said. "Brian brings a proven record of success working with the receivers and the passing game, and that's crucial for us at this time since our receiver group is so young."
In his time at Miami, Von Bergen coordinated the recruiting effort that netted NFL starters Ben Roethlisberger, Jacob Bell and Ryne Robinson, and coordinated the RedHawks passing game in which Roethlisberger starred. He also coached the four most productive receivers in Miami history
Von Bergen replaces Jonathan Beasley, who returned to coach at his alma mater, Kansas State. He joins the Bobcat staff immediately.
