Athletic Director 1998-2006, Football Coach (eight
seasons, 1998-2005)
To say Steve Nelson was instrumental in Curry
football’s winning legacy is an understatement. In his first
year alone, Coach Nelson’s Colonels finished at 6-4, snapping
the program’s 17-game losing streak and producing the
school’s first winning season in eight years. As head
football coach he led the Colonels to two ECAC tournaments, three
NEFC championships and three NCAA tournaments. He was NEFC Coach of
the Year three times and is Curry’s leader in all-time career
wins with a record of 64-22 as head coach. During Steve’s
time as athletic director, Curry College added women’s
lacrosse as a varsity sport. The College also improved it’s
facilities by upgrading the baseball and softball fields, as well
as constructing a new turf field with lights and bleachers for
football, soccer and lacrosse.
