FAIRFIELD, Alabama -- Fairfield approved a new head football coach during a specially-called school board meeting on Friday afternoon.
L.C. Cole brings collegiate head coaching experience and will leave Jamey Dubose's staff at Class 7A Central Phenix-City to take over the Tigers. Cole, 58, played safety for all-time coaching great Tom Osborne at Nebraska from 1975-1980 and even spent a couple of months in an NFL training camp before his playing career ended.
"I'm always looking for a program out there that needs a little tender loving care," Cole said. "I just felt like looking at Fairfield that it was a good opportunity for me to get with a program and try to turn a program around to win a state title because they had never won a state championship before."
Cole said he has previously been a head coach at the college level for Tennessee State, Alabama State and Stillman College.
