Daryl James Gross (born June 20, 1961) is currently the Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at California State University, Los Angeles. Prior to serving in this position, he was the Vice President and Special Assistant to the Chancellor at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York.[1] Previously, he was the school's athletic director. In June 2015, the university announced that Mark Coyle, of Boise State, was hired to succeed Gross as athletic director.

Gross received his bachelor's degree and played college football at University of California, Davis. Gross was a New York Jets scout when Pete Carroll was the Jets head coach, a relationship that led to him pushing for Carroll to be hired by USC.[2]

Formerly, Gross coached and worked at the University of Southern California in intercollegiate athletics after being a graduate coaching assistant (while earning his doctorate). While serving as senior associate athletic director, Gross was credited for bringing in head coach Pete Carroll for the Trojans football team.[2][3] In 2005, Gross became AD at Syracuse. In 2008, ESPN.com named Carroll's hiring #1 in a list of the Pac-10's Top 10 Moments Of BCS Era.[4]
