Entering his first season - second year - at Central Oklahoma is Dustin Landry, who brings an impressive resume to the UCO football staff. Landry is the defensive backs coach and the defensive coordinator for the Bronchos.

Landry was previously the defensive coordinator at the University of West Georgia for 2018 and 2019. He has served as defensive coordinator at four previous stops, including a season at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. He previously held similar positions at FCS Western Carolina (2016), Holmes (Miss.) Community College (2015), and Navarro (Texas) Community College in 2012.

Landry began his coaching career as a student assistant at his alma mater, Auburn, in 2007. He mentored in 2008 under Gene Chizik as a graduate assistant at Iowa State before returning to Auburn in 2009, and was on the defensive staff during Auburn's 2010 national championship run.

Landry was also reunited with Chizik at North Carolina as a defensive quality control coach prior to taking the Holmes defensive coordinator job in 2015.

Landry joined the Central staff in the spring of 2020 but the Bronchos did not play a season last fall. The 2021 season will be Landry's first on the sidelines for UCO.

A native of Gulf Shores, Ala. Landry received his undergraduate degree in criminology from Auburn in 2006 and his master's degree in college administration from Auburn in 2009.
