Alex Wood, who brings more than 35 years of coaching experience at both the collegiate and professional levels, is in his third season at the University of Delaware, serving as the wide receivers coach for the second year after working with the quarterbacks in 2018.Â
The Massillon, Ohio native has been a head coach at two FCS schools, the latest coming at Florida A&M. He is no stranger to the CAA, serving as the head coach at JMU from 1995-98.
Wood’s collegiate experience began as a student-athlete at Iowa as a running back and special teams player. After graduation, he switched into the coaching role and served as a graduate assistant with the Hawkeyes.
He followed with stops at Kent State (1979-80), Southern Illinois (1981), Southern (1982-84) and Wyoming (1985-86).
Wood’s BCS experience started in 1987 at Washington State and followed with four years at the University of Miami, where he was a part of two national championship teams, including a perfect 12-0 season in 1991.
After two years at Wake Forest, Wood’s first head coaching opportunity came at JMU in 1995, where he led the Dukes to the Division I-AA playoffs in just his first season.
Wood moved to the pro ranks in 1999, when Dennis Green hired him to serve as quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings, where he worked for four seasons. In 2000, Daunte Culpepper earned All-Pro status under his tutelage.
He also spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals, before moving back to the collegiate ranks in 2006 as quarterbacks coach at Arkansas for two seasons. A one-year stint at Miami (Ohio) was followed by four seasons at Buffalo, where he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
In 2015, Wood took over the head coaching role at Florida A&M, where he spent the past three seasons before joining the Blue Hens.
