Arkansas State University

After coaching several years at Charleston and Stuttgart, Floyd came to Arkansas State to join Coach Bennie Ellender's staff as backfield coach.  In 1969 he was promoted to director of athletics and led the program during a crucial period in its development.

In his six years of service as AD, Floyd organized the fundraising effort that supported construction of Indian Stadium, now Centennial Bank Stadium, and directed the program's transition into NCAA Division I competition.
