Audino attended the University of Notre Dame and played on the football team as a running back. He received his undergraduate degree in 1975. Audino then pursued a master's degree at the University of Albany. While there, he worked under head coach Bob Ford as the Great Danes' special teams coordinator.
Audino then spent the next 13 years as an assistant coach at four different universities until he landed his first head coaching job at Kean University in Union, New Jersey in 1990. He only stayed for two seasons, compiling an 8–12 record, before accepting the newly-vacant head coaching position at Union.
