Dan Enos (born July 1, 1968) is an American football coach and former player. He is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Arkansas. Enos served as head football coach at Central Michigan University from 2010 to 2014. He was also running backs coach for the Michigan State Spartans, where he played as a quarterback from 1987 to 1990.
Enos attended Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn, Michigan. He played quarterback and earned all-state honors while passing for 46 touchdowns and compiling 5,743 yards of total offense. Enos played four years at Michigan State University (1987–1990), including two as starting quarterback (1989–1990). Under Enos and then coach George Perles Michigan State won the 1989 Aloha Bowl and 1990 John Hancock Bowl and took a share of the 1990 Big Ten championship. As of 2010[update] Enos has the third-best all-time pass completion percentage in Spartan history (.621) and eighth-best total yards (4,301). In 1991 Enos graduated from Michigan State with a degree in business administration.
After graduation Enos joined the Michigan State football coaching staff as a graduate assistant, staying there from 1991 to 1993.
In 1994 Enos joined the coaching staff at Lakeland College, a Division III school in Wisconsin. As offensive coordinator, Enos helped develop Mark Novara, Lakeland's most successful quarterback. After Novara entered the Lakeland Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008, he credited Enos for much of his success: "That was Coach Enos' first stint on a coaching staff. He was really young, but really good. We knew he'd be in the Big Ten some day." After two years at Lakeland Enos moved on to Division II Northern Michigan University, where he spent a year as offensive coordinator.
