Joel Beard
Director
Joel Beard is the head football coach of the Boylan Titans, bringing decades of coaching, leadership, and championship-level experience to the program. Beard joins Boylan after serving three seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the College of DuPage, where he helped lead the Chaparrals to five consecutive NJCAA Division III national championships. Under his leadership, DuPage featured the nation’s top scoring offense, along with top-ranked rushing and passing units, and produced 10 All-Americans—including the NJCAA D-III Offensive Players of the Year in 2023 and 2024.
Prior to DuPage, Beard served as a head coach at Minnesota State University and held coaching roles at Southeast Missouri State University and Missouri Western State University. His experience also extends into athletic administration, having served as athletic director in both the Beloit and McHenry school districts, where he earned his Certified Athletic Administrator designation. Known for his offensive expertise and commitment to student-athlete development, Beard emphasizes success both on the field and in the classroom.
A resident of Loves Park, Beard lives with his wife, Sara, and their two children. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and a master’s degree from American Intercontinental University. Beard becomes the sixth head football coach in Boylan history and looks to build on the program’s tradition with a forward-thinking, player-focused approach.
