Matt Lubick enjoyed many aspects of his season-long sabbatical from coaching college football. During his employment in the private business sector, Lubick could relax and watch football, maybe go to a tailgate, drink an occasional root beer. Have fun.
"I've been doing this for 25 years, and in this business, slow doesn't really happen too often. So that was great," Lubick said. "I was able to kind of sit back for the first time ever and watch college football as a fan."
He also discovered a different appreciation when seeing football from the other side of the television.
