Steve Logan is the current offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Boston College. Previously, he was the seventeenth head coach at East Carolina University. He is also the all-time winningest coach in East Carolina history. He began in the 1992 season and compiled a 69-58 record, with five bowl games. Arguably the greatest win came in 1999. ECU upset #9 Miami at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina, after Hurricane Floyd devastated Greenville. For this 9-3 season, the team won the ESPN Spirit Award. He resigned on December 7, 2002 after a "substandard" 4-8 season. Logan has coached quarterbacks Jeff Blake, Marcus Crandell, David Garrard, and Matt Ryan on to pro careers. Logan joined the BC staff after two seasons as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach with the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe and one season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Rhein Fire. Logan helped Dave Ragone (2004) and Rohan Davey (2005) earn Offensive Player of the Year and All-NFL Europe honors. Since August 2006, he has hosted a sports talk-radio show in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Logan reunited at Boston College with Head Coach Jeff Jagodzinski; the two worked together under ECU coach Bill Lewis from 1989-92. When Logan succeeded Lewis, Jagodzinski remained on staff for four years before accepting the offensive coordinator position at Boston College.

Prior to his stint in NFL Europe, Logan served as the head coach of East Carolina from 1992-2002. He became the school's all-time winningest coach (69-58), and led the Pirates to five bowl games, including the 1994 St. Jude Liberty Bowl, the 1995 St. Jude Liberty Bowl, the 1999 Mobile Alabama Bowl, the 2000 Galleryfurniture.com Bowl, and the 2001 GMAC Bowl. Logan led the 1995 team to a 9-3 record and a No. 23 ranking in the final Associated Press poll.

In 1996, ECU gave the Miami Hurricanes their worst defeat (31-6) in the Orange Bowl in 12 seasons. In 1999, Logan and the Pirates added to their list of "high-profile" victories, beating West Virginia, South Carolina, Miami and NC State en route to another bowl game.

Logan is widely regarded as an offensive architect, and began implementing his system as co-offensive coordinator for ECU in 1990 and 1991. The 1991 team finished 11-1, reached a top-10 national ranking and defeated NC State in the Peach Bowl.

Logan began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1974. In 1980, he became the tight ends coach at Oklahoma State under head coach Jimmy Johnson. He moved to Hutchinson Junior College for two years before taking the reins as offensive coordinator at Tulsa under John Cooper. Logan headed for Colorado in 1985, coaching the Buffalo running backs for two years before coaching the quarterbacks at Mississippi State until 1989.

Logan, a 1975 graduate of Tulsa, developed much of his coaching philosophy through the influence of several head coaches. He worked with former Ohio State coach John Cooper at Tulsa, former Miami Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson at Oklahoma State, former Colorado coach Bill McCartney, and with Bill Lewis at East Carolina.
