Nate Milne has been hired as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Muhlenberg after serving in the same capacity at Centennial Conference rival Susquehanna for the last seven years.
A veteran with more than 15 years playing and coaching football at the Division III level, Milne coached a first-team all-conference player at every offensive position while at Susquehanna.
In his first year at Susquehanna, Milne coordinated the Liberty League's top offense. The following year, he helped the Crusaders to the Liberty League championship and an NCAA playoff berth.
Susquehanna joined the Centennial Conference in 2010, and for two straight years it had the league's top Red Zone offense. This past fall, Milne coached the first player to run for 200 yards against Muhlenberg in seven years.
Prior to working at Susquehanna, Milne was an assistant coach for three years at Cortland State, where he coached five All–New Jersey Athletic Conference offensive linemen and one All–NJAC running back during his tenure. In 2006 and 2007, Cortland ranked first in its conference in scoring offense and in 2006 was also first in fewest sacks allowed.
In 2007, Milne was a guest coach with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League and spent their preseason working as an assistant offensive line coach. He also spent one year as an assistant coach at Hamilton College, focusing on tight ends and offensive scouting.
A 2003 graduate of Hobart College with a bachelor's degree in history, Milne was a four-year letterwinner with the Statesmen, earning first-team All–Liberty League honors twice and playing on Hobart's first two Division III playoff teams.
Milne and his wife, Kristen, welcomed son Matthew in the spring of 2013.
Milne replaces Tom Perkovich, who ironically left Muhlenberg to become head coach at Susquehanna, and inherits a prolific offense that set school records for yards, first downs, passing yards, completions, completion percentage and scoring average in 2014. The Mules averaged 38.3 points per game en route to a 9-2 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
