Coyle was born and raised in Longmont, Colorado and played scholastically at Longmont High School. He played college football at Colorado, where he was honored by the Associated Press as a third-team All-American.

After going undrafted, Coyle signed with the Washington Redskins as a replacement player during the 1987 NFLPA strike. He played three games in 1987, and signed with the team in 1988, but spent the entire season on injured reserve.
