Having spent more than three decades in collegiate coaching, Tim Salem boasts experience that is both extensive and diverse. Salem has served as offensive coordinator at four different schools and coached four different positions on that side of the ball. Entering his sixth season as Pitt’s tight ends coach, Salem’s broad perspective is a great asset on the field and in recruiting.
A 1985 graduate of Arizona State, he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater for two seasons. Salem began his collegiate playing career at Minnesota, where he broke the Big Ten record for consecutive pass completions in 1980, before transferring to Arizona State for the 1983-84 seasons.
