The Clarion-Ledger reported today that former Auburn wide receivers coach Greg Knox has taken a position as running backs coach on Dan Mullen's staff at Mississippi State.

“I’m really excited about it,” Knox told the paper. “I always thought Mississippi State was a gold mine. Great place. Kids are going to want to come there.”

The 45-year-old Knox, who spent 14 seasons on Tommy Tuberville's staff, coached running backs back when he was a graduate assistant from 1988-89 for his alma mater Northeastern State.

Defensive line coach Don Dunn is the only former Tuberville assistant whose future is uncertain. Dunn has been linked to several jobs, including Iowa State, where former Tuberville assistant Terry Price left after less than a month on the job to return to Ole Miss.
