I use principles from agile with my team for sure. Help to get things moving quickly and make quick experiments.
We are building an in-house platform to manage the merits program for a company. They have their existing one and want to include their international employees. We kicked this off two weeks ago, with the vision they had. We quickly tested the approach they have and realized that it is not viable. Even though the tool can accommodate what they want, it will create massive headaches for people actually using the tool. We were able to find it quickly because we involved them from the get-go.
It is a huge time saver, reduces waste and more importantly keeps the customers front & center.
We don't have agile coaches. But the "projects leaders" are familiar with agile, lean and six-sigma methodologies.
The Agile principles can be applied to virtually any area of a business. Put the people first, iterate quickly, and be flexible and adaptable.

I don't know how much you know, so if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, then apologies.
Agile is an iterative software development methodology. It is typically used with modern "web" based technologies more than on legacy systems.
Each iteration of development and delivery of functionality is known as a sprint. Scrums are used to facilitate planning of sprints and also the communications within the development team.
A scrum master would be the person who was responsible for making sure that the team follows the process appropriately. It would be mainly a quality control job. Although it might not be a full time role, so could be performed by someone with another role as well.
An agile coach would be someone who helps with implementing the agile methodology into an organisation, or who provides training to developers or project managers who are learning the agile method.
TL;DR A Scrum Master and Agile Coach is an Agile software development methodology expert.
