Don Eck

Offensive Line Coach

Eck returns to the Las Vegas Locomotives as offensive line coach after being successfully reunited with Coach Jim Fassel, for whom he first served as graduate assistant and then offensive line coach at the University of Utah. In 2009, Eck served as offensive line coach at Weber State University.

Prior to Weber State, Eck spent five seasons coaching in NFL Europe with the Rhein Fire and Berlin Thunder. While in Berlin, the 2004 Thunder team posted a 9-1 record and won the World Bowl with Eck acting as both offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Under Eck's direction, the Thunder had the top offensive team in almost every category. Eck began his NFL Europe career in 2003 with the Scottish Claymores and led the team's offense to a league-best mark.

While working with Coach Fassel at Utah, Eck's offensive line protected quarterback Scott Mitchell during an era which saw the Utes lead NCAA Division I in passing and ranked third in total offense. He coached the Utes through the 1989 season before moving to Arizona as assistant offensive line coach. Eck also had coaching stints at James Madison University and the University of Utah.

Eck and his wife Cynthia have four children.
