Home Phone: 337-654-6901 Tim Buckley, The Advertiser, December 21, 2014 NEW ORLEANS – His exit from the same stage on which he’s finished four straight seasons means curtains are closed on what, even by Broadway standards, has been quite a run. It’s the end, in fact, of a decade-plus-long era. UL secondary coach Tim Rebowe worked his final game as a Ragin’ Cajuns assistant last Saturday, when the Cajuns beat Nevada 16-3 at the Superdome for its fourth consecutive New Orleans Bowl win. Rebowe decided to leave UL a few weeks before the bowl, having already been named new head coach at Southland Conference-member Nicholls State. He agreed to see things through, however, and coached his defensive backs through a postseason game in which the Cajuns allowed Nevada a New Orleans Bowl record-low 124 passing yards. It’s believed that the move means the Sun Belt Conference no longer will have a coach — assistant, or head — who has been tenured with a member program since the league’s football inception. Rebowe — an assistant at UL Monroe when the SBC started playing in football in 2001 until 2003, and an assistant at UL since 2004 — is pretty certain he’s the last of the bunch. That, though, wasn’t what was foremost on his mind as the Cajuns celebrated a New Orleans Bowl win that followed ones over San Diego State in 2011, East Carolina in 2012 and Tulane in 2013. “You know,†he said, “right now it’s not about me. “We said early in the week we wanted — I wanted — four bowl-championship rings. I was talking about for these players, and this team, and this program. And I’m so happy, especially for the seniors. “You know, you can’t start naming all the guys on the team,†added Rebowe, who is regarded as one of the top recruiters in Louisiana. “But (for) the seniors to go out with the special thing they did, four bowl championships — some guys don’t even get to go to a bowl. Some coaches don’t get to go to a bowl, you know?†The last time Nicholls State’s job was open prior to this season, Rebowe didn’t get it. He hadn’t coached in any bowls then either. “Everything happens for a reason,†Rebowe said. “Now I’ve got four bowl rings, and now I can take some of this success to Thibodaux.†With that, Rebowe smoothly shed one hat and donned the next. “This is the last (Sun Belt game for him). I’ve got to turn it over to somebody else,†he said. “But I’m excited about the new start. A lot of work to be done in Thibodaux. “I’ve got to hit the road recruiting, get our coaches on board and go turn it around in Thibodaux, Louisiana.†* * * * * * * Assistant Coach on Bustle staff since 2004. Position: Experience: Hometown: Alma Mater: Tim Rebowe enters his second season as safeties coach with Louisiana-Lafayette. The Cajuns pass defense had a stellar first year under Rebowe, finishing with a No. 11 national ranking in passing yards allowed. Both of Rebowe�s starting corners in 2004 advanced to the NFL. Rebowe coached strong safety C.C. Brown (101 tackles), who was drafted by the Houston Texans in the 2004 NFL Draft, and Antwain Spann, who signed as a free agent with the New York Giants. A native of Norco, La., Rebowe came to Cajun Country after three seasons as cornerbacks coach at Louisiana-Monroe. Prior to his stint with the Indians, Rebowe spent six years at Nicholls State where he served as defensive backs coach (1995-2000), special teams� coordinator (1995-98), recruiting coordinator (1998-2000), and wide receivers coach (2000). In 1996, the Colonels pass efficiency defense ranked seventh nationally in I-AA. Rebowe began his coaching career in 1987 at his alma mater, Destrehan High School, where he coached baseball for four seasons. He added football responsibilities in 1988, serving as defensive backs coach and special teams� coordinator from until 1992, when he became head coach from 1992-95. His ties to the Cajuns began in 1994 when former Destrehan High star Damon Mason transferred to Louisiana from Jones County JC. Mason would go on to have one of the best careers by a defensive back in Cajuns history. Mason�s No. 9 is one of only six numbers retired at UL Lafayette. Rebowe earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Louisiana State University in 1987. He is married to the former Kim Robichaux and they have a daughter, Samantha, and a son, Tyler.
