University of Northern Iowa President Mark Nook and Director of Athletics Megan Franklin announced on Tuesday that Todd Stepsis has accepted the UNI Football head coaching position. Stepsis joins the Panthers after a six-year stint as the head coach at Drake University. He has also served as Drake's offensive coordinator for the past three seasons.
The Shelby, Ohio native guided the Bulldogs to consecutive appearances in the FCS Playoffs after winning back-to-back Pioneer Football League championships. Drake 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.
Franklin confirmed that Stepsis has agreed to terms of a five-year contract. He will be formally introduced to the UNI community at a press conference in the near future. Details on that event at the McLeod Center will be shared when finalized. Coach Stepsis' introductory press conference will be streamed live via the UNI Athletics YouTube channel.
