Dylan Chmura is an American football coach and former player who currently serves as the offensive line coach for the North Dakota State Bison. He was hired by NDSU in February 2025 following a season coaching the offensive line at Tennessee State.

Coaching career

Chmura began his coaching journey as a student assistant at Michigan State University in 2016, working with the offensive line, tight ends, and long snappers. He then spent two seasons at Fresno State (2017–2018) as a graduate assistant, where the Bulldogs won the 2017 Hawaii Bowl and the 2018 Mountain West Conference title.

From 2019 to 2020, Chmura was a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa, assisting with the offensive line under head coach Kirk Ferentz and offensive line coach Tim Polasek. The Hawkeyes enjoyed a 10-win season in 2019 and were ranked in the top 15 nationally in 2020. During his time, Chmura helped coach future NFL players Tristan Wirfs, Tyler Linderbaum, and Alaric Jackson.^[1]

In 2021, Chmura was hired by Northern Michigan, where he coached the offensive line, tight ends, and fullbacks. He also served as the offensive coordinator in 2022^[2] and was the interim head coach for the final months of that season. ^[3]

Chmura moved on to Bemidji State University in 2023, where he was the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator for a team that finished 9–3 and reached the second round of the Division II playoffs.^{[citation needed]}

In 2024, he joined Tennessee State University, working under head coach Eddie George.^[4] The Tigers finished 9–4 in their best season in over a decade. Chmura's offensive line helped lead a postseason push that ended with a playoff loss to Montana.

He returned to the FCS powerhouse North Dakota State in 2025 to take over an offensive line unit with several key departures. Chmura replaced longtime OL coach Dan Larson, who was promoted to offensive coordinator.^[5]

Playing career

Chmura was a tight end and long snapper at Michigan State from 2013 to 2015. A two-year letterwinner, he was part of Spartan teams that won Big Ten championships in 2013 and 2015, captured the 2014 Rose Bowl and 2015 Cotton Bowl titles, and made a College Football Playoff appearance in 2016. He retired early from playing due to concussions and transitioned to coaching.

Personal life

Chmura is a native of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and played high school football at Waukesha West. He is the son of former Green Bay Packers tight end Mark Chmura, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl XXXI champion. Dylan holds a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies from Michigan State and a master's degree in education from Fresno State.^[6]
