Bill Lund joined the Columbia Football coaching staff in August 2011 as the Lions' defensive line coach.

Lund is a 15-year veteran college coach who most recently served as the defensive coordinator at St. Norbert College in 2010.  During that season, the Green Knights' defense led all of Division III in takeaways (46) and won its first conference title in four years under Lund's tutelage. 

Prior to his stop at St. Norbert, Lund was a defensive assistant for two seasons at Buffalo, where he was part of a coaching staff that led the Bulls, who play in the Football Bowl Subdivision, to the first MAC championship in the program's history.  In 2008, the Bulls were first in the nation in fumbles recovered and seventh in takeaways.

Lund was the defensive coordinator at Carleton College from 2006-07 and also spent six years at Colby College and three at St. Anselm College. 

A two-time participant in the NCAA Expert Coaching program, Lund was named to American Football Monthly's Hot List of up and coming coaches and also has experience as a strength and conditioning coach during his time at Colby.  He played football and competed in track and field at Lawrence University, from which he graduated in 1997 with a degree in biology. 

At Lawrence, he played on both sides of the ball and started at center in his final two years.  As a senior, he earned the college's most dedicated senior athlete award.
