Concord University head football coach Garin Justice announced Wednesday
that Steve Adams has been promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator for the
Mountain Lions.
Adams, who held the title of Defensive Backs Coach and Recruiting
Coordinator in 2012, helped coach a defense that ranked 14th in the
nation in total defense, 11th in scoring defense and seventh in passing
defense last season.
Under his tutelage in 2012, all four of Concord's starting defensive
backs (Riyahd Richardson, Kevin Elliott, Davon Marion and Nate Pollard)
earned All-West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors. In
addition to being the seventh-best pass defense in the country, CU also
ranked first in the WVIAC in pass defense.
In his time with the Mountain Lions, Adams' defensive backs have earned seven all-conference awards and two all-region honors.
A native of Greenville, Ky., Adams came to Concord in 2011 after stops
at Purdue University (quality control coach and interim recruiting
coordinator), the University of Louisville (director of football
operations) and Western Kentucky (defensive backs coach / graduate
assistant). Prior to starting his coaching career, Adams was a
three-year letterwinner at safety for Western Kentucky.
Concord finished the 2012 season with a 7-4 overall record and a 6-2
mark in the WVIAC. The Mountain Lions have recorded four consecutive
winning seasons.
