Chuck Stobart was the head football coach for five seasons from 1977-81, rebuilding the Rocket program into one of the premier programs in the Mid-American Conference. He earned MAC "Coach of the Year" honors in 1979 and 1981. Only the legendary Frank Lauterbur won that award more times than Stobart among UT head coaches. In 1981, Stobart led UT to a 9-3 record, a MAC Championship title and a memorable 27-25 victory over San Jose State in the California Bowl that was decided on a last-second field goal by Tony Lee. Stobart left UT to become the head coach at Utah from 1982-84. He later served as the head coach at Memphis from 1989-94, and also spent time as the offensive coordinator at Pittsburgh, Arizona, USC and Ohio State.
