LAFAYETTE, Louisiana -- Grambling State head football coach Broderick Fobbs has been rumored as a candidate for the open head coaching position at UL Lafayette.
Footballscoop.com reported last week that Fobbs' name was on the initial list of potential successors of former Ragin' Cajuns coach Mark Hudspeth, who was fired on Dec. 3 after seven seasons, along with other FCS coaches Tim Rebowe at Nicholls State and Lance Guidry at McNeese State. Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry is on the list, too.
Sports Illustrated’s Bruce Feldman has reported that Pry looks to be at the top of UL Lafayette’s list and after 11 days into the school’s search, sources have told Footballscoop.com that Pry and Arizona State offensive coordinator Bill Napier had interviews, while Rebowe and Fobbs have both “had discussions and should not be ruled out of consideration” at this point.
Grambling State (11-1) faces off with North Carolina A&T (11-0) Saturday for an HBCU national championship at the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Fobbs guided the G-Men to a national title last year, defeating North Carolina Central, 10-9, and back-to-back SWAC championships in three straight conference title game appearances. Since the head coach took over his alma mater in 2014, Grambling has gone 38-9 and have won 25 straight regular season SWAC contests.
