A coach with nearly 20 years of experience, Blane Morgan was named Lamar University head coach Dec. 12, 2019, becoming just the third coach since the university re-established the program prior to the 2010 season. Morgan also becomes the program’s 10th head coach since transitioning to a four-year institution.
A direct disciple of legendary coaches Rocky Long, Fisher DeBerry and Troy Calhoun, Morgan comes to Beaumont after spending the previous five seasons at San Diego State. During his time with the Aztecs, Morgan produced some of the most talented signal-callers in program history, while helping guide the Aztecs to five consecutive bowl game appearances.
