Head Coach
On Dec. 14, 2014, Missouri State announced the hire of former University of Missouri associate head coach and defensive coordinator Dave “Stec” Steckel as Missouri State’s 20th head football coach. In his first year at the Bears’ helm, Steckel and his talented staff set about the task of overhauling a young Bears squad, heavily emphasizing the fundamental aspects of the game. Capitalizing on a renewed enthusiasm surrounding the MSU program, Steckel laid the groundwork for enhancing relations with area high school coaches, engaging the community and raising the bar with his “Bear Up” mentality. The 2016 season saw the Bears post a three-win improvement from the previous fall, led by consensus All-American and Buck Buchanan Award finalist Dylan Cole. MSU recorded a pair of road wins, including a key win over a No. 24 Indiana State squad, which represented its first road victory over a ranked foe since the 2012 season. Steckel brings 35 years of coaching experience into the 2017 season, including 14 seasons at Mizzou, in which he helped transform the Tigers defense into one of the strongest units in the nation. He was the only defensive coach among the five finalists for the 2014 Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. He helped produce a total of 15 all-conference linebacker selections at MU, including a number of players who have forged professional careers in the National Football League. Under Steckel’s tutelage, Missouri’s defense was a driving force in the Tigers’ back-to-back Southeastern Conference East Division titles in 2013 and 2014. MU led the SEC and ranked 10th nationally in sacks per game in 2014. The Tiger defense finished first or second in every major statistical category in SEC play, propelling MU to its fifth conference divisional championship in the last eight seasons. In 2013, the MU defense was fifth nationally in interceptions (20), eighth in total turnovers forced (32), and an SEC-best 2.93 sacks per game. Individually, Steckel has nine different MU defenders currently playing in the NFL, including five who have garnered All-America recognition since his elevation to defensive coordinator in 2009. Overall, Steckel helped coach Missouri to 10 bowl appearances during his tenure in Columbia, including five seasons with 10 or more wins. The Tigers compiled a 112-66 (.629) overall record in his 14 seasons with five divisional titles since 2007.
