The Curry College Department of Athletics announced the hiring of Todd Parsons as the next head coach of the College’s football program on April 7, 2022.

Parsons joined Curry after coaching three years at Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) rival Endicott College. He brought with him 15 years of coaching experience at the NCAA Divisions I, II, and III levels.

Parsons served as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for Endicott, winning a CCC Championship in 2021. His team ranked near the top of the league in nearly all offensive categories, and he coached the CCC Offensive Rookie of the Year in wide receiver Shane Aylward. The Gulls went 17-5 in two seasons with Parsons on staff.

Prior to Endicott, Parsons was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Bentley University for one season, the pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Brown University for four seasons, the special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach at Assumption College for one season, and the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for three seasons at the CCC’s Salve Regina University.

Parsons is a 2007 graduate and Hall of Famer of Averett University, where he obtained his Bachelor’s of Science in physical education and wellness with a minor in coaching.

As a quarterback for the Cougars, Parsons was a two-time All-Conference selection, an Academic All-Conference honoree, and a captain of the program. He still ranks first in program history with 42 career passing touchdowns, second with 4,662 passing yards, and third with a passing efficiency of 129.5. As a senior in 2006, he led Averett to a USA South Conference Championship.

Parsons began his coaching journey at McDaniel College as a graduate assistant coach. He received his master’s degree in athletic administration from McDaniel in 2010.

Todd is the son of David Parsons, a long-time successful football coach at Lehighton High School in Pennsylvania.
