Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator: Jeff Byrd (2nd Season at SFA)

Jeff Byrd enters his first season as interim head coach and second as the Lumberjacks' defensive coordinator, overseeing SFA's overall defensive scheme. A coaching veteran known for aggressive defensive play, Byrd has spent the last 15 seasons in the defensive coordinator role. Byrd came to Nacogdoches after serving as the University of Tennessee at Martin’s defensive coordinator for five seasons.

Coach Byrd brought immediate success to SFA’s defensive unit in his first year as the Lumberjacks’ lead man on that side of the ball. After ranking last in the league in both scoring and pass defense and 10th in total defense in 2016, Byrd guided the SFA defensive unit to finish seventh in the Southland Conference in all three categories in 2017. For the sixth-consecutive season as a defensive coordinator, Byrd’s defense held opponents to fewer than 30 points per game. SFA ranked fifth in the league in red zone defense as opponents scored less than 80 percent of time when reaching the Lumberjacks’ 20-yard line. In conference play, the ‘Jacks held opponents to 24 points per game, ranking fourth in the league, and allowed just 210 passing yards per game to finish fifth in the Southland in that category.

Three of Byrd’s players claimed All-Southland accolades in 2017 as senior defensive end John Franklin and sophomore safety Alize Ward were second-team selections and junior defensive tackle Lamont Alexander claimed honorable mention. Franklin registered the fifth-most tackles for loss in Southland play (11.5) and averaged 1.2 tackles for loss per game on the season to rank 42nd nationally. He completed his Lumberjack career fifth on SFA's all-time career tackles for loss list with 37.5, while finishing ninth in program history in all-time career sacks (17.5). Ward was SFA's biggest playmaker last season, recording four interceptions in league play to rank second in the Southland and racking up 122 interception return yards for second-most in the conference. He ranked 18th nationally in passes defended per game (1.3) and 32nd in interceptions per game (0.4).

During his five seasons at UT Martin, Byrd was part of a Skyhawk staff which registered an overall record of 35-23, holding opponents to less than 30 points per game in four of those five seasons. UT Martin also earned a reputation as one of the top defensive teams in the Ohio Valley Conference, ranking among the league’s leader in total defense in each of his five seasons. Byrd’s 2016 UT Martin defense was one of the best not only in the OVC, but nationally as well. The Skyhawks allowed just 24 points per game, ranking second in the conference and 17th nationally, limiting opponents to 128.3 rushing yards and 194.1 passing yards, both second in the conference behind national powerhouse Jacksonville State. Where UT Martin really made its mark was on turnovers, ranking seventh nationally with 28 takeaways in 2016. The Skyhawks registered 17 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries, scoring six defensive touchdowns on the season, second only to New Hampshire’s seven on a national level.

During his time in Tennessee, Byrd mentored over a dozen All-OVC performers, including All-Americans Tony Bell and Ben Johnson. Bell earned All-America honors in both 2013 and 2014, setting a school record with 22.5 sacks, while Johnson led the OVC in tackles, sacks and tackles for loss in 2013.

Prior to joining the staff at UT Martin, Byrd spent three seasons at Arkansas Tech, serving as the Wonder Boys’ defensive coordinator from 2009-11. Byrd’s defense ranked in the top-25 nationally in back-to-back seasons, allowing just 86.4 rushing yards per game in 2009.

Byrd spent four seasons as the defensive coordinator at Southern Arkansas from 2005-08, coaching 13 All-Gulf South Conference performers during that span. Under his leadership, the Muleriders were one of the nation’s best against the rush, finishing 18th nationally in 2008 by allowing just 96.8 yards per game.

Byrd’s first stint as a defensive coordinator came at Northwest Mississippi College, where he spent two seasons with the Rangers in 2003 and 2004. Byrd’s tough defensive scheme helped Northwest Mississippi rank fourth nationally in 2003, allowing just 71.6 rushing yards per game and only 212 total yards per game in 2004. Byrd’s collegiate coaching career also includes stops at Mars Hill College in North Carolina (2000-02), serving as the school’s co-offensive coordinator, as well as at Delta State (2000) where he served as a graduate assistant for the Statesmen. Byrd was an assistant football coach at Washington High School in Greenville, Mississippi, from 1994-98, before spending one season as the head coach, principal and athletic director at Bayou Academy in Cleveland, Mississippi, in 1999.

A native of Southaven, Mississippi, Byrd was a three-year letter winner at center for Southern Mississippi and was a member of the Golden Eagles’ 1988 Independence Bowl championship team. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Southern Miss in 1989, followed by his master’s degree in education from Delta State in 2005.

Byrd has a son, Scott, and two daughters, Kris and Mary Katelyn.
