Drury spent the 2023 season as defensive coordinator at Western Illinois. 

Before WIU, he was head coach at Missouri S&T from 1999-2022. Drury was the Miners’ defensive coordinator for the 2017 and 2018 seasons before taking the head coaching position.

Drury’s defenses were among the top in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, allowing league-bests 292.2 total yards per game in 2018 and 294.3 yards in 2017. Drury also worked as Missouri S&T’s defensive line coach during the 2015 campaign.

Prior to joining the Miners’ staff, Drury served as defensive line coach and strength coordinator at Evangel University for two seasons after coaching linebackers and special teams at Midland College in 2012.

He was a graduate assistant at Evangel, where he played collegiately. 

Drury received his bachelor’s degree from Evangel in 2009. He and his wife, Kelly, have two children.
