Kenny Edenfield returned to his alma mater for the 2008 season and after two seasons as a receivers coach will transition to offensive coordinator in 2010 a post he held at North Alabama from 2002-07.

Under Edenfield in 2009, Jerrel Jernigan became the fourth wide out in Troy history to record more than 1,000 yards in a season. The Troy offense as a whole continued to stand out as it finished first in the Sun Belt in scoring at 33.7 points per game and first in total offense, posting more than 485 yards per contest.

In his first season as an assistant coach at Troy, Edenfield was part of the staff that led the Trojans to a national ranking of 26 in total offense with 421.42 yards per game. He also led the Trojans rushing attack to a 36th-place national ranking, while the passing game came in at 32. The Trojans were the 23rd highest scoring team in the country in 2008, averaging 33.25 points per game. He also coached Jernigan, the school's all-time single-season leader in receptions with 77 set in 2008.

He spent the six previous seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Alabama, where he helped direct one of the most productive offenses in NCAA Division II. The Lions broke scores of school records and ranked among the offensive leaders in both the Gulf South Conference and Division II annually. Edenfield helped lead UNA to two conference championships and four NCAA playoff berths in his six years at the school - including an overall 54-19 record. He was one of just two Lion assistants who had been on Mark Hudspeth's staff every season since he arrived at UNA in 2002.

In 2007, UNA went 10-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years. With a number six national ranking in the final Division II poll, UNA also ranked in the final Top 10 poll for Division II for the fourth time since 2003. The Lions averaged 37.5 points and 408 yards per game that season. Both of UNA's losses were to eventual Division II national champion Valdosta State on the road. North Alabama quarterback A.J. Milwee was a national finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II Player of the Year.

In 2006, North Alabama went 11-1, won the Gulf South Conference championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs behind an offense that averaged 33.5 points per game and 379.2 yards per game. Four Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense, including Harlon Hill Trophy candidate Anthony Merritt. In 2005, Edenfield directed a UNA offense that paved the way to an 11-3 record. The Lions broke 28 offensive records and advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs. From that team, six Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense and three were named NCAA Division II All-Americans - including Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Merritt. UNA averaged 31.2 points per game and 411 yards per game in 2005. In 2003, Edenfield guided the Lions to a 13-1 record, a Gulf South Conference championship and a semifinal berth. Along the way, UNA broke 11 school team records and 20 individial records, while producing the Harlon Hill Trophy winner in quarterback Will Hall.

Edenfield is a native of Clinton, LA, where he was born December 8, 1965. He and his wife Pamela have a son K.D. and daughters Caitlin, Christina and Kiley.
