Chris Dorsey enters his first season as Associate Head Coach at Grambling State University with over a decade of collegiate head coaching experience. Across 11 seasons, Dorsey has consistently built winning cultures and delivered championship-level results at every stop.
Most recently, Dorsey spent eight seasons as the head coach at Centenary College, where he became the winningest coach in the school’s NCAA Division III era. He surpassed 100 career wins and led the Gents to their first conference championship in over 40 years in 2020, then captured a second SCAC title in 2024—making him the only coach in program history with multiple championships. His teams earned NCAA Tournament bids in both title seasons and reached five consecutive SCAC Final Fours.
Under his leadership, Centenary produced at least one All-Conference player every season—25 total—along with one SCAC Player of the Year and two SCAC Rookies of the Year. His teams posted a dominant 76% home winning percentage from 2020–2024 (51–16), and he engineered two of the longest winning streaks in school history (10 games each). Dorsey was named SCAC Coach of the Year in 2020.
Before Centenary, Dorsey was the Head Coach at his alma mater, Lyndon State College, from 2014 to 2017. He guided the program to two North Atlantic Conference (NAC) semifinal appearances (2015 and 2017), while producing one NAC Player of the Year, two Rookies of the Year, and five All-Conference selections.
From 2008 to 2012, Dorsey served as Associate Head Coach at Daniel Webster College. He helped lead the team to a single-season record 21 wins while directing an offense that led the conference in field goal percentage, three-point percentage, and overall offensive efficiency.
Dorsey currently resides in Shreveport, Louisiana, with his wife, Morgan, and their three children. Morgan serves as the head women’s soccer coach at Centenary College.
