Bio

Born April 9, 1955 in Oakboro, North Carolina, Rod Broadway is the ninth head football coach at Division I-AA/FCS powerhouse Grambling State University. Before taking over at Grambling, Broadway was as an Assistant Coach at the Division I-A level for 22 years. In 2002 he took over the struggling football program at North Carolina Central University (NCCU), a then Division II school in Durham, North Carolina. The school had gone 2-8 the year before Broadway took over. Broadway would go on to lead the North Carolina Central Eagles to two Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Conference 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 32–11.

While Broadway's background (as a coach and a player) is rooted in defense, his teams at NCCU and Grambling have been known for their explosive offenses. In only his second year at Grambling State, he led the Tigers to a 12–2 record and won the 2008 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championship.

Personal tragedy

In June 2004, Broadway's wife Dianne Broadway died after 14 years of battling scleroderma, a rheumatic disease of the connective tissues. The disease primarily attacks women from ages 30 to 50. Doctors do not know the origin of scleroderma, although research suggests that genetic predisposition might be a part of the disease. Broadway lost his mother, his wife, and his personal secretary all in a one-year period.
