UNLV REBELS

Todd Berry

Position: Offensive Coord./Quarterbacks/Assoc. HC Experience: 3rd Year

Todd Berry enters his third season with UNLV and serves as the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and associate head coach.

During his time in Las Vegas, he has developed arguably the top QB combo in the Mountain West with record-setting signal callers Omar Clayton and Mike Clausen back under center in 2009. Last season's UNLV offense tied for the national lead in red-zone scoring percentage (95 percent) while tying the school mark for fewest interceptions thrown (six) and helping set the Rebel record for fewest total penalty yards.

"Todd Berry has great coaching experience, has been a head coach and is one of the top offensive coordinators in the country," Mike Sanford said. "I am very excited to have him as a part of our staff."

Berry came to UNLV with a wealth of coaching experience, including stints as head coach at Army and Illinois State. Prior to joining the Rebels he was quarterbacks coach at the University of Miami for the 2006 season. Berry joined the Hurricanes' staff after two years running a spread offense at Louisiana-Monroe in 2004-05. That followed four seasons as head coach at Army where his teams set 25 Academy records.

He moved to West Point after a wildly successful run as head coach at Illinois State from 1996-99, presiding over one of the most remarkable turnarounds in Division I-AA history. A team that had not won a conference title since 1950 advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in his third season in 1998. The following year, the Redbirds were undefeated in the conference and advanced to the I-AA semifinals. He was a semifinalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award in both 1998 and 1999. His teams set more than 100 records during his four seasons as head coach, and he compiled a record of 19-7 his last two seasons.

Berry was offensive coordinator at East Carolina from 1992-95, and the Pirates went to the Liberty Bowl his last two seasons. He was the offensive coordinator at Southeast Missouri State in 1991, receivers coach at Mississippi State in 1989 and 1990, and offensive coordinator at Tennessee-Martin from 1986-88.

Berry was a graduate assistant at Tennessee (1983) and Oklahoma State (1985), as well as the receivers coach at his alma mater, Tulsa (1984). He was a quarterback for the Golden Hurricane before graduating from the school in 1983.

Berry and wife Lisa have two daughters, Jordan (22) and Ryleigh (7).
