Kevin Bracken was named the Bucknell football team's defensive line coach on February 18, 2019. He was promoted to run game coordinator in May 2021; at that time, he shifted to working with the Bison linebackers.

Following a successful playing career at Moravian University, Bracken spent his first two seasons in the coaching ranks at Franklin & Marshall College. Bracken, who worked with the Diplomat defensive line from 2016 to 2017, joined the Villanova University football staff as a defensive assistant ahead of the 2018 campaign.

During his final season at Franklin & Marshall, the Diplomats went 10-1 (8-1 Centennial Conference). The 2017 Franklin & Marshall squad was the eighth in program history that won at least nine games during a single campaign; the Diplomats also captured a share of the Centennial Conference championship for the first time since 2003.

A native of Wanaque, N.J., Bracken graduated from Moravian in 2015 with a degree in mathematics and political science. During his time on the Greyhound football team, he played in 39 games at linebacker, totaling 248 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, five interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. He topped out at 107 tackles as a junior in 2013, an effort that netted him All-Centennial Conference honorable mention laurels.
