Stephen F. Austin's head coach, Colby Carthel, values loyalty, which must’ve made the decision to agree to part ways with offensive coordinator Matt Storm, likely one of the most challenging decisions of his coaching career. Storm is the only person to serve as offensive coordinator since Carthel began his head coaching career at Texas A&M-Commerce.
The duo teamed up to win an NCAA Division II national title with the Lions in 2017. Success followed them to SFA, and the Lumberjacks claimed the Western Atheltic Conference title in 2022.
