Wide Receivers Coach of the Year (2012)

Matt Lubick (born January 26, 1972) is an American football coach. He is the offensive coordinator for the University of Oregon football team.[1] Lubick was named the 2012 FootballScoop Wide Receivers Coach of the Year.[2]

Playing career

Lubick was a four-year starter at defensive back for Western Montana College and earned all-conference and NAIA All-America honors as a senior.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree in exercise and sport science from Colorado State in 1995.[3]

Coaching career

Lubick began his coaching career in 1995 as a student assistant coach and academic supervisor under his father, Sonny Lubick at Colorado State University. He then coached one season at Cal State-Northridge in 1996 and two seasons at San Jose State as wide receivers coach (1997–1998). Lubick coached the defensive backs while helping coordinate Oregon State's recruiting efforts for two seasons (1999–2000).[3]

In 2001 Lubick returned to Colorado State as wide receivers coach from 2001–2004.[4] Lubick spent two seasons at Ole Miss, where he helped recruit star all-purpose back Dexter McCluster. Former Oregon State head coach Dennis Erickson hired Lubick again in 2007 at Arizona State, where Lubick spent three seasons before moving to Duke as passing game coordinator, receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.[5]

Lubick was one of three finalists for the American Football Coaches Association's Assistant Coach of the Year award for 2012. A big reason is the production his receivers turned in for Duke, which reached a bowl game for the first time since 1994.[6] He was also named the wide receivers coach of the year in 2012 by footballscoop.com.[2]

Duke was the only FBS team in the country in 2012 with three receivers to catch at least 60 passes, led by Conner Vernon’s program-record 85 receptions. Vernon and Jamison Crowder also set an ACC record for most catches by a receiving tandem, combining for 157 receptions on the year. The Blue Devils were the 31st-ranked passing team in the FBS in 2012.[6]

On January 28, 2013, University of Oregon football coach Mark Helfrich hired Lubick as the Ducks passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. He replaced Scott Frost, who was promoted to offensive coordinator. Lubick's teaching's took Oregon's receivers to much improved level in his first season with the Ducks.[7] Josh Huff set the single-season mark for receiving yards in a season with 1,140 - breaking a school record that stood for 43 years.[8] Oregon set a school record for total offense in a season at 7,345, besting the old mark of 7,319 in 2011, which happened during a 14-game season.[9]

On January 1, 2016, Ducks Head Coach Mark Helfrich announced that Lubick would be promoted to Offensive Coordinator to replace the outgoing Scott Frost, who was hired as Head Coach at the University of Central Florida. Coach Frost took a similar path through the Oregon staff, being hired on as the Wide Receivers Coach when Chip Kelly was promoted to head coach in 2009. Frost was subsequently promoted to OC/QB Coach.[10] It was announced on January 20, 2016 that Coach Lubick would continue coaching the Wide Receivers as Offensive Coordinator.[11]
