Dan Sabock joined the Temple Football staff as an analyst in January 2019 following two seasons on staff at NIU. He was promoted to associate special teams coordinator in January 2020.

In 2018, Sabock led the special teams unit that ranked fifth in the country with five blocked kicks as the Huskies won the MAC Championship.

Sabock joined the Huskies' coaching staff in 2017 and led NIU’s special teams, an area where the Huskies had a great deal of success in his first season working with the group. NIU special teams' units blocked two field goals, and four punts in 2017, including two against Ball State. Jackson Abresch recovered both blocked punts against the Cardinals for touchdowns, becoming just the third player in NCAA history to do so. The Huskie specialists also recorded two blocks in the same game, a punt and a field goal, against Eastern Michigan. The blocked punts were the first by NIU in six seasons.

Before coaching at NIU, Sabock spent five years in Melbourne, Fla., where he was special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Division II Florida Tech, helping the Panthers to the 2016 Division II playoffs. 

Before Florida Tech, Sabock coached at Indiana State, where he assisted with the outside linebackers and special teams from 2011-12.

He began his coaching career at Rutgers, where he worked in player development and helped coach the Scarlet Knights’ secondary in 2010 and 2011. 

Sabock was a two-year letterwinner at defensive back and wide receiver at Elmhurst College. He earned his undergraduate degree in physical education in 2010.

Sabock and his wife, Traci, were married in July 2020, and reside in Audubon, N.J. The couple welcomed daughter, Adalyn, in April 2021.
