Xavier Dye is the recruiting coordinator and running backs coach for the University of Delaware football program in Newark, Delaware. He joined the Blue Hens staff in January 2025 as running backs coach and added recruiting coordinator duties before the 2026 season. Delaware's 2025 staff led the program through its move to the FBS and finished by winning the 68 Ventures Bowl, making the Blue Hens only the second first-year FBS program to win a bowl game.
Before arriving at Delaware, Dye spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons coaching running backs at Coastal Carolina. In 2024, Coastal Carolina's top two rushers combined for 1,318 yards and 16 touchdowns, and Christian Bennett received All-Sun Belt honorable mention recognition. The Chanticleers won the 2023 EasyPost Hawai'i Bowl and posted a 14-12 record during Dye's two seasons on staff.
