Todd Stepsis

Head Football Coach - University of Northern Iowa
Todd Stepsis was named the 24th head football coach at the University of Northern Iowa on Dec. 3, 2024. Todd was the Head Coach at Drake for the prior six years and compiled a 16-7 record over that two-year span in 2023-24, including a 15-1 mark in conference play. Stepsis earned Pioneer Football League Coach of the Year honors for a second consecutive year in 2024.

After opening the 2023 season with a non-conference slate that featured contests at North Dakota and a neutral site contest against South Dakota State, the Bulldogs rattled off eight straight wins to finish the regular season with an 8-3 mark. That record clinched Drake’s first-ever berth in the FCS Playoffs and secured the school’s first Pioneer Football League championship since 2012. Stepsis was named the unanimous choice for Pioneer Football League Coach of the Year honors, making him the first Drake football coach to earn that distinction since 2004.
