TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Indiana State head football coach Trent Miles has named Steve Englehart offensive coordinator, replacing Troy Walters who recently left to become the wide receivers coach at Texas A&M.

Englehart, who lettered in football for the Sycamores at the quarterback position in 1997, 1998 & 1999, comes to ISU after a four-year run as the head coach at NCAA Division III Rose-Hulman.

"I am excited to return to my alma mater to be the offensive coordinator at Indiana State," Englehart commented. "The staff at ISU is full of great people and that is what I've always been about. The coaches that were already in place have a tremendous knowledge base which is second to none in the nation. It is bittersweet to leave an institution like Rose-Hulman. It was extremely tough to leave that program. I am fortunate that all of my collegiate coaching opportunities have come right here in Terre Haute - my hometown. I can't wait to hit the ground running this week with the Sycamores."

Englehart will also coach the quarterbacks and running backs with the Sycamores.

"Anytime that you can add a coach with the experience that Steve Englehart possesses it is a positive for your program," Miles said. "We are happy to bring Steve back to his alma mater as the offensive coordinator. Steve is a good friend and will be an excellent mentor and role model for our team. He had tremendous success as a player at both Indiana State and Terre Haute North and was a vital reason why Rose-Hulman has enjoyed a resurgence in their football program in his time there as both head coach and as an assistant."

Englehart came to ISU after an impressive four-year run as the head coach of NCAA Division III Rose-Hulman. Englehart held Rose-Hulman's all-time record for winning percentage by a head football coach after four successful seasons at the helm of the Fightin' Engineers. He led the Fightin' Engineers to a 26-14 record and a .650 winning percentage over his four years at the institution, including two seasons at 7-3 and two at 6-4. Rose-Hulman also recorded four consecutive six-win seasons for the first time in school history including the most recent 2009 campaign.

The four-year span under Englehart's direction was the best stretch of football at Rose-Hulman since the 1987-90 teams were 29-10-1. Englehart led the Engineers to their best conference finish since 1988 with an outright second-place effort in 2008. His lastthree squads combined for the 30 All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference awards.

In 2008, Englehart successfully engineered the team's first foreign trip in six years with a summer trip to Italy.

In addition, his efforts included implementation of the "Locker Room Project" to help reconnect alumni with the football program and raise revenue for the team. The project has provided the resources for new team uniforms and travel over the past two years, while allowing alumni to have their name and playing seasons placed into the locker corresponding to their jersey numbers.

Englehart, spent a total of eight seasons on the Fightin' Engineer coaching staff, serving as the team's offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator from 2003-05. Rose-Hulman compiled a 14-16 record during those three seasons. His philosophy emphasizes aggression and power, along with the best available use of talent.

Englehart's offensive units made a significant mark on the Fightin' Engineer record book. Derek Eitel graduated with every major career passing record at Rose-Hulman after completing 576 passes for 7,507 yards and 52 touchdowns over the last four years.

Tailback Charlie Key completed a standout career with a school record 4,400 all-purpose yards, ranked second in school history with 38 touchdown rushes, and moved into fourth on the all-time rushing list with 2,741 yards.

Reed Eason currently ranks second in school history with 155 pass receptions and 19 touchdowns, and will enter his senior year needing just 15 catches and four touchdowns for program records.

Englehart began his coaching career as the Rose-Hulman's quarterback coach in 2002, before earning a promotion to offensive coordinator during the following off-season.
