COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : HOLIDAY BOWL : Rams’ Lubick Glad He Stuck Around

But Lubick, who served as Miami’s defensive coordinator from 1989 to ‘92, decided to stay and signed a contract extension through 2001.
The Rams are the defending Western Athletic Conference champions and only the third team in conference history to appear in the Holiday Bowl two years in a row.
“I dreamed about getting back here, but I didn’t think it was a realistic goal,” Lubick said.
