Byrd spent the 2017 season as defensive coordinator for Lumberjack football
NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Stephen F. Austin has named Jeff Byrd as interim head football coach.
The announcement comes after head coach Clint Conque was suspended Monday pending an investigation into alleged violations of university policy. The investigation is expected to take several weeks and no comments will be made by the university until the investigation is complete.
Coach Byrd enters his second year with the Lumberjack football program after serving as SFA's defensive coordinator during the 2017 season. In early March, Byrd was promoted to assistant head coach.
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.
