Coaching career

Allen began coaching as a student coach at the University of Oklahoma under defensive coordinator Bill Young and head coach John Blake. After completing his degree in civil engineering, Allen stayed on in 1997 as the graduate assistant, working on defense.

After the 1998 season, Allen then took a position on Dennis Franchione's staff at Texas Christian University. In 2000, Allen left for Quincy University to be the defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator. In 2002, Allen left Quincy to be the defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at San Jose State University. In 2005, he moved to Southwest Baptist University as defensive coordinator.
