Tre Lamb is set to launch his head coaching career Feb. 27.
He was hired as Gardner–Webb’s head coach in Dec. 2019. The coronavirus pandemic postponed a fall season to this spring.
Lamb comes to Gardner–Webb from Tennessee Tech as offensive coordinator. He served as quarterbacks coach at Mercer from 2014-17 and in the same capacity at Tennessee Tech in 2013.
He played quarterback at Tennessee Tech from 2008-12 for head coach Watson Brown.
Lamb joined the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days” ahead of the 2021 spring season. He discussed assembling his first coaching staff and offensive philosophies.
“We’re Air Raid passing game,” Lamb said. “Air Raid principles with an inside power-running game. I do believe you got to run the ball to win games in certain situations. All our passing game is Air Raid principles.
“If you want to compare our offense to somebody, it probably would be a hybrid between Appalachian State and Central Florida. Those are two teams we study the most. I like the outside zone play that App. State runs and I like the way Central Florida formations you and throws the ball down the field. Those are the two teams we watch the most and cater our offense to our players.”
