Scott Mueller begins his sixth season as a full-time assistant coach with the Washington University in St. Louis football team and 10th overall with the program. Mueller coaches the quarterbacks and serves as the Strength and Conditioning Coach, and enters his third season as the offensive coordinator for the Bears.
Mueller's first season as the offensive coordinator was a success, helping lead the Bears to 7-3 overall record and second place in the University Athletic Association (UAA). The Bears' offensive line allowed just 10 sacks in 2010, which led the conference and ranked 33rd in NCAA Division III. WUSTL also turned the ball over a conference-low 13 times in 2010.
