Boyd began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at NCAA Division III Augustana (Ill.) College for three seasons (1992-95). He then assumed a volunteer assistant coaching position at Gannon, a position he served in for seven seasons from 1992-93 until 2002-03. Henry elevated Boyd to a part-time assistant coach in 2004. He stayed in that role for eight campaigns, before accepting the full-time position in 2013.

Gannon has been the wrestling home for Boyd since his collegiate days. In 1991, the former 134-pound wrestler earned academic all-america honors and captured athletic all-america accolades by finishing sixth at the NCAA Division II National Championships. He was only the fourth Golden Knight in school history at the time to achieve all-america status.
