Todd Berry, Executive Director - AFCA
This week on Inside the Headset we sit down with Todd Berry, Executive Director of the AFCA. We discuss the process of taking over a new team as the head coach and everything that goes along with it: establishing culture, developing player buy-in, identifying team leaders, and inspiring hope. Coach Berry's career began as a graduate assistant at the University of Tennesee in 1983 working with the tight ends. He would go on to also serve as a graduate assistant at Tulsa (1984) and Oklahoma State (1985) before being named the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Tennessee-Martin (1986-1988). Coach Berry worked with the receivers at Mississippi State (1989-1990), served as the OC at SE Missouri State (1991), and was later the OC at East Carolina (1992-1995). In 1996, Berry was named head coach at Illinois State (1996-1999). From there, he went on to lead Army's program for four seasons (2000-2003). Coach Berry then joined Louisiana-Monroe as OC (2004-2005), Miami as quarterbacks coach (2006), and UNLV as the assistant head coach/OC (2007-2009). In 2010, Berry returned to Louisiana-Monroe--this time as head coach (2010-2015). Todd Berry became the fifth executive director of the AFCA in 2016.
