Larry Lacewell is a former college football head coach and athletic director of the Arkansas State college football program from 1979 to 1989 and the longtime director of scouting for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.
Lacewell began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama. He coached at Arkansas State, Arkansas A&M, Kilgore Junior College (which won a national championship during his tenure), Wichita State and Iowa State, before becoming defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 1970. Lacewell became assistant head coach under Barry Switzer in 1973, and the teams won 2 national championships in the ensuing years. [1] [2]
Lacewell is the winningest coach in ASU history and led the team to four consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, with the 1986 team making it all the way to the championship game before losing to Georgia Southern.[3]
In 1990, Lacewell left ASU to become defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Volunteers. In 1992, he joined the Dallas Cowboys organization, eventually serving 13 seasons on staff as director of both college and professional scouting. Lacewell retired from the Cowboys after the 2004 season.[4]
