Mark Smith returns to his longtime home of Terre Haute to be Mallory's assistant head coach and defensive line coach for the 2017 season.
 
Smith was a prominent defensive coach for the Sycamores from 1988-2002, working as the special teams coordinator, defensive line and inside linebackers coach before two seasons as the defensive coordinator in 2001 and 2002. Smith was also an assistant coach at Rose-Hulman in 1986-87 before moving across town to Indiana State, where he helped guide the Engineers to a 1986 conference title.
 
Prior to coming to Terre Haute to coach at Rose-Hulman and Indiana State, Smith was an assistant coach at Bowling Green from 1982-85. Smith was on two staffs that took the Falcons to conference titles and California Bowl trips in 1982 and 1985.
 
During his career at Indiana State, Smith coached several defensive units that gained national acclaim while coaching 14 all-conference players and six All-Americans – including NFL Draft pick Dan Brandenburg, who played in 42 games in three seasons with the Buffalo Bills from 1997-99.
 
Smith left Indiana State in 2003 to join Brady Hoke's staff at Ball State, starting a relationship that would carry him on his next two stops. At Ball State, Smith was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach from 2003-08. In 2008, the Cardinals were nationally ranked and went 12-1 overall, ending with a trip to the 2008 GMAC Bowl. That season, Smith's defense ranked 29th nationally in scoring defense, 28th in tackles for loss and 38th in opposing pass efficiency. That same year, Smith helped mentor MAC Freshman of the Year, Sean Baker.
 
Ball State also went to the 2007 International Bowl with Smith on staff.
 
Smith followed Hoke out to San Diego State in 2009 and 2010, eventually taking the Aztecs to the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl.
 
From there, Smith was brought on with Hoke at Michigan from 2011-14, where he was the Wolverines' linebackers coach from 2011-13 and the defensive line coach in 2014. In Ann Arbor, Smith was part of three Michigan teams that went to bowl games in 2011 (Sugar Bowl), 2012 (Outback Bowl) and 2013 (Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl).
 
In 2011, Smith's group helped the Wolverines to an 11-2 record and a Sugar Bowl victory. U-M's defense ranked second in the Big Ten and sixth in the FBS in scoring defense, surrendering only 17.4 points per game. The Wolverines defense also ranked third in the conference in rushing defense (131.7 yards per game), fourth in total yards per game (322.2) and fifth in passing defense (190.5 ypg). The linebackers also contributed to a conference best 29 turnovers forced and FBS-best 20 fumbles recovered.
 
The 2012 group was led by All-Big Ten second team linebacker Jake Ryan's 88 tackles, 16.0 stops for loss, 4.5 sacks and four forced fumbles, while Kenny Demens had 82 tackles, including six tackles for loss and Morgan had 81 stops, 5.5 for loss. The linebacking corps in 2012 helped U-M limit opponents to 19.8 points per game, fourth in the Big Ten and 20th nationally, and 320.0 total yards per game, second in the conference and 13th in the country.
 
Smith's unit produced two of the Wolverines' top three leading tacklers in 2013 in James Ross III (85 tackles) and Desmond Morgan (79 tackles) and the team's top three tackles leaders in 2012.
 
Smith's 2014 season was highlighted by second-round NFL Draft pick defensive end Frank Clark, who posted 42 tackles, 13.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks, two PBU and a fumble recovery during his final year.
 
Smith has spent the last two seasons in 2015 and 2016 at Division II Florida Tech, where he served as the associate head coach and defensive line coach both years and the defensive coordinator in 2016.
 
Smith began his coaching career at Defiance High School in Ohio after graduating from Purdue with a bachelor's in 1979 and a master's from Bowling Green in 1983. Smith and his wife, Kim, have three children: Heather, Eric and Craig. Smith's son Craig will serve on Indiana State's staff as the director of operations and the video coordinator.
 
Coach Mallory: "I worked with Mark on a nationally-ranked defense at Michigan and have known him for a very long time. It always starts up front with the defensive line, and Mark was a key member of that staff at Michigan in anchoring our defense and fostering the success we had. He's a highly-regarded veteran football coach. We feel very fortunate that Mark is back in Terre Haute coaching our defensive line."

Another Brady Hoke disciple, Jeff Hecklinski, joins Indiana State's staff in 2017 as both the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator, while also overseeing coaching duties with the Sycamore quarterbacks.
 
Hecklinski was most recently a part of Bill Cubit's carryover staff at Illinois in 2015-16 before former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith took over in early 2016. Prior to his brief stint in Champaign, Hecklinski was the passing game coordinator and QB coach at Colorado State-Pueblo in 2015.
 
Like Mallory and much of his staff, Hecklinski was a four-year member on Hoke's staff at Michigan from 2011-14 as the assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach. His final season in 2014 was highlighted by Devin Funchess, who was drafted in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. Funchess was a Second-Team All-Big Ten selection in 2014, leading Michigan with 62 catches for 733 yards and four touchdowns.
 
Hecklinski's unit had continued success in 2013, led by Jeremy Gallon's record-setting year. Gallon finished the season with a program-best 1,373 receiving yards. He also had 89 receptions, ranking second in U-M history, and nine touchdowns. Gallon also posted a reception in a program-record 39 consecutive games, breaking Braylon Edwards' previous school mark. Gallon ended his Michigan career ranked third in all-time receptions (173), third in receiving yards (2,704) and tied for ninth in touchdown receptions (17).
 
Hecklinksi's unit helped a Michigan offense that averaged 383.1 yards per game in 2012. Gallon and Roy Roundtree led the group, combining for 80 catches and 1,409 yards and seven touchdowns. Gallon caught a then career-best nine passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns in the Outback Bowl, while Roundtree finished his career ranked sixth in U-M history in career receptions (154) and receiving yards (2,304).
 
The receivers contributed to an offense that averaged 404.7 yards per game in 2011, which ranked third in the Big Ten. Five different receivers had multiple touchdown catches, led by Junior Hemingway, who totaled 34 receptions for 699 yards and four touchdowns. Two of Hemingway's touchdowns came in the Sugar Bowl, where he was named MVP in Michigan's 23-20 overtime victory over Virginia Tech.
 
Prior to that, Hecklinski was part of Hoke's staff at San Diego State from 2009-10, which won the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl. At SDSU, Hecklinski helped mentor star running back Ronnie Hillman, who broke NFL legend Marshall Faulk's single-season rushing record and was drafted in the third round by the Denver Broncos in the 2012 NFL Draft.
 
He first joined up with Hoke at Ball State in 2004, where he was the recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach until he left with Hoke to SDSU after the 2008 season.
 
At Ball State, Hecklinski helped coach two of the most prolific players in Cardinal history in wideouts Dante Love, who ranked second in the country in 2007 in all-purpose yards (206.92), and Dante Ridgeway, who was an All-American and one of three finalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2004.
 
Hecklinski was the quarterbacks coach at Arizona in 2003, after two seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Central Missouri State, where he helped the team to the school's first-ever playoff appearance and bowl victory.
 
Hecklinski earned his bachelor's degree at Western Illinois in 1997, where he was a quarterback and threw for more than 5,980 yards to rank second in the school's career record book after transferring from Illinois following two seasons with the Illini. He played for the Arena Football League's Albany Firebirds in 1998.
 
He and his wife, Tiffany, have a daughter, Riley, and two sons, Mikey and J.R.
 
Coach Mallory: "I've known Jeff for more than 20 years. He brings great experience in the Midwest. I've known Jeff as a husband and a father and a teacher, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and for what he'll bring to our staff. He's a great offensive mind that we're thrilled to have here. The leadership that Jeff will give us on offense will be outstanding."
