Mike Collins (born December 13, 1960) an American football coach and former player. He is currently defensive coordinator of Sam Houston State. He has formerly coached two different stints as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at McNeese State University. Collins was named the interim head football coach at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) during the 2002 season.
ULM announced that Collins would be the permanent hire for head coach at the end of the 2002 season, but four months into his tenure he resigned after an April 2003 arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. He later fought the charge and won in court.
On May 15, 2013, Sam Houston State announced Mike Collins would replace Scott Stoker as Sam Houston's defensive coordinator.
On December 20, 2015, new Louisiana–Monroe coach Matt Viator announced that Collins would be returning to the Warhawks' staff as defensive coordinator.
