Scott Sallach begins his sixth year as wide receivers coach at Princeton, and he continues to work with the Princeton special teams units. He has also been given the responsibility of pass game coordinator. He returns a plethora of experienced receivers this season, including senior tri-captain Adam Berry and classmate Will Thanheiser.
This will be Sallach’s second straight season coaching a Princeton captain. Prior to Berry, Sallach coached Brendan Circle, a 2006 first-team All-Ivy selection, who led the Ivy League in receiving yards per game and ranked second in receptions per game that season. He finished his career ranked sixth on the all-time Princeton receptions list with 105 catches, and his 12-catch performance at Yale tied for eighth-best in a single game at Princeton.
Circle was injured for much of last season, which allowed Sallach more time to work with current sophomores Trey Peacock and Matt Ransom. Peacock earned the team’s top offensive freshman honor last season, and both played significant snaps most of November.
Before coming to Princeton, Sallach had been at Dartmouth for five seasons, coaching the wide receivers and assisting with the special teams, specializing in kickoffs and kickoff returns. He also assisted in recruiting during his five years at Dartmouth and was the summer camp director. Sallach worked with Roger Hughes and Dave Rackovan before the two of them came to Princeton prior to the 2000 season.
Sallach, who graduated from Ursinus in 1994 with a degree in exercise and sport science, took his first football job at Hamilton College in 1994 as an assistant coach. After one season there, he spent three years at Monmouth as an assistant coach. In both positions, Sallach was responsible for coaching wide receivers.
