TC ASSISTANT FOBBS
TAKES JOB AT LSU

Jamaal Fobbs took a step forward and backwards simultaneously, returning to his old stomping grounds in NCAA Division I after two seasons coaching at Texas College.
Fobbs, the head track and field coach and offensive coordinator at Texas College last year, accepted a football recruiting position with Louisiana State University.
Fobbs starts his new job on Monday, reuniting him with his former college coach, Les Miles, who was hired in January to lead LSU. Then the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, Miles coached Fobbs from 1997-2000, when he starred in the Cowboys backfield.
During the 2003-04 school year, Fobbs worked as a quarterback/running backs coach and assistant track and field coach. Last season, he assumed control of the offense and both track and field programs, coaching three NAIA All-Americans - two in football, Jonathan Combs and Dontay Spillman, and one track and field, Temika Perry.
"He did a great job with our student-athletes," said Jay Brown, Texas College head football coach and athletic director. "We look to replace him with the same caliber of person."
The departure of Fobbs means the TC offense and defense will both be in new hands next season. Previously, Texas College defensive coordinator Eule Ford left to take a position with the Angelo State football program.
The Steers finished the 2004 season 5-6, averaging 32.1 points and 336.8 yards per game.
Fobbs, the son of Texas A&M assistant football coach Lee Fobbs, wrapped up his Oklahoma State playing career ranked among the top 20 in career rushing yards - a list that includes former NFL greats Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas. After college, Fobbs enjoyed a stint in the Indianapolis Colts' training camp and also played for the Frankfurt Galaxy in NFL Europe.
At LSU, Fobbs joins one of the nation's premier college football programs, which split the 2003 national championship with Southern California after going 13-1. LSU finished 9-3 last season, capped by an appearance in the Capital One Bowl.
"I feel honored we had someone on our (staff) that a school of that magnitude would consider hiring," added Brown. "We were fortunate to have coach Fobbs with us for two seasons. We wish him the best in his new position at LSU. I think it is a good opportunity for him to reach his goals."
