CIAA Coach of the Year (2006) |
Roderick Craig Broadway (born April 9, 1955) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (North Carolina A&T), a position he has held since 2010. Broadway served as the head football coach at North Carolina Central University from 2003 to 2006 and at Grambling State University from 2007 to 2010. He holds the distinction of being the only coach to have ever won a black college football national championship at three different schools.
Broadway was born April 9, 1955 in Oakboro, North Carolina and attended West Stanly High School. A 1977 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Broadway played on the defensive line from 1974 to 1977. He helped lead the North Carolina Tar Heels to the 1974 Sun Bowl and the 1977 Liberty Bowl. Broadway earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors as a senior in 1977.
Before taking over at Grambling, Broadway was as an assistant coach at the NCAA Division I-A level for 22 years. In 2002 he took over the struggling football program at North Carolina Central University (NCCU), then an NCAA Division II school in Durham, North Carolina. The school had gone 2–8 the year before Broadway took over. Broadway led North Carolina Central Eagles to Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) championships and black national championships, in 2005 and 2006. During his final three seasons at NCCU Broadway had a combined record of 29–4. He closed out his tenure at NCCU with a record of 33–11.
