Bryan Collins is an American football coach currently serving as head coach of the LIU Sharks, representing Long Island University in the NCAA Division I FCS Northeast Conference. He became the head coach of the LIU Post Pioneers, which represented the university's Post campus, in 1998. While LIU then operated two athletic programs—the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds and LIU Post Pioneers—only the Post campus had a football team, a situation which continued throughout Collins' career at LIU Post. After the 2018 season, LIU merged its two athletic programs into the current LIU Sharks, with Collins remaining as head coach of the Sharks.
