GARDI ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGES
HEMPSTEAD, New York * Hofstra University Head Football Coach Joe Gardi today announced the resignation of Defensive Backs Coach Jimmy Salgado and the appointment of former Army Assistant Head Coach/Secondary Coach and one-time Hofstra Defensive Coordinator Chip Garber as the Pride's new Defensive Backs Coach. The appointment is effective immediately.
Salgado completed his 10th year of college coaching and his second as Defensive Backs Coach at Hofstra University in 2003. He leaves Hofstra to pursue another opportunity in college coaching. One of three Hofstra graduates on the football staff last year, Salgado played for the Pride from 1989 through 1992.
The New Hyde Park Memorial High School graduate returned to Hofstra in 2002 after two seasons as defensive backs coach at Northeastern University. Prior to Northeastern, Salgado served as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at Millersville (PA) University from 1997 through the 1999 season. He also coached the linebackers at Boston University in 1996 and linebackers and special teams at Western Connecticut State University during the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
Salgado, who recorded 104 total tackles and nine interceptions during his four seasons as a player at Hofstra, began his coaching career in 1993 as quarterbacks coach and defensive backs coach at Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, NY. In January 1994 he started an eight-month football graduate-assistantship with the Hofstra football staff before moving on to Western Connecticut State for the 1994 season.
Chip Garber, who served as the Pride's Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Coach in 1999, returns to Long Island after four seasons at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 1999, the Pride defense held opponents to under 300 yards five times, ranked seventh in I-AA scoring defense, allowing just 15.6 points per game, was 14th in I-AA in passing efficiency defense, and were ranked as high as third in the country in the I-AA polls.
Garber served as Assistant Head Coach/Linebackers Coach at Army from 2000 through the 2002 season, and Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Backs Coach last year. He brings to Hofstra 23 years of college coaching experience including 20 seasons on the I-A level.
Before coaching at Hofstra in 1999, Garber served as Defensive Coordinator and secondary coach at Virginia Military Academy from 1996 through the 1998 season. In addition to directing the defense, Garber worked extensively with the Keydets special team units and was responsible for recruiting in most of Virginia and central and northern Florida.
A three-year letterman at the University of Maryland, Garber played on two Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championship teams in 1975 and 1976. He was also a member of Maryland teams that participated in the Peach Bowl, Liberty Bowl, Gator Bowl, Cotton Bowl and the Hall of Fame Bowl.
Following graduation from Maryland in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in communications, Garber began his coaching career as a part-time assistant at Southern Methodist University coaching linebackers, defensive ends and defensive backs in 1980 and 1981. The Mustangs played in the Holiday Bowl in 1980.
In 1982, Garber began a seven-year stint as an assistant at the University of Kentucky. He served as Receivers Coach in 1982 and 1983 before directing the Wildcat defensive backs and special teams from 1984 through 1989. Kentucky participated in the Hall of Fame Bowl in both 1983 and 1984.
In 1990, Garber left Kentucky to become the Defensive Backs and Special Teams Coach at Mississippi State University. A year later, he accepted a similar position at Texas Christian University. In 1992, Garber began a four-year stay as Defensive Backs Coach at the University of Minnesota.
Garber, a native of Winchester, Virginia, and his wife, Linda, have three children Rusty (18), Laurie Beth (15) and Derek (10).
