Jeff Nady joined Vanderbilt football as assistant offensive line coach in 2025.
Nady was a two-time all-conference selection at Nevada, including first-team All-Mountain West as a senior. His graduating class in 2012 departed Nevada as the program’s all-time winningest class. The Minden, Nevada, product went on to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons before playing for a trio of Arena Football League teams.
Following his playing career, he returned to Reno, first as a strength and conditioning intern and then as a graduate assistant on offense. He became offensive coordinator at Division II Fort Lewis (Colo.) College before another stint at his alma mater as offensive line coach in 2022. He spent his two most recent seasons as offensive line coach at South Dakota.
He helped the Coyotes reach double-digit wins and the FCS playoffs in both seasons, advancing to the quarterfinals in 2023 and semifinals in 2024. The 2023 team ranked second in FCS in tackles for loss allowed and 11th in sacks allowed. In 2024, the Coyotes ranked sixth in FCS in rushing offense, second in tackles for loss allowed and ninth in sacks allowed.
