BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) - Lamar hired assistant Steve Roccaforte to replace Billy Tubbs as coach Tuesday, one day after Tubbs retired to end a 31-year coaching career.
Roccaforte spent three seasons under Tubbs, who will remain as Lamar's athletic director. Tubbs hired Roccaforte in 2003 after returning to Lamar, where he coached in the 1970s before taking over at Oklahoma and later TCU.
Roccaforte, 39, has also been an assistant at Memphis, Wyoming and Tulane. He graduated from Lamar in 1989.
