ODU doesn't have a player with the #89 on the roster so another one of the coaches...
Bill Dee, former Christopher Newport assistant and four-time state championship Phoebus High School coach, begins his first season with the ODU Football Monarchs this spring. Dee will serve as the assistant offensive line coach.
A legendary high school coach in Virginia, Dee led Hampton-based Phoebus to four state championships and compiled a 243-76-1 record during his 24-year career. Capturing a .761 winning percentage, he helped the Phantoms to nine district and seven regional championships in addition to his four state titles.
In his final game, Phoebus defeated Dinwiddie, 37-13, at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium in 2008, completing a 15-0 season. His team ended up ranked #3 in the nation by Rivals.com.
Dee joins the Monarchs after a two-year stint at Division III Christopher Newport in Newport News where he coached the inside linebackers and defensive line. The Captains won the 2010 USA South Conference title and competed in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Beginning his coaching career at Greene High School in New York, Dee served as the defensive coordinator for four seasons before moving to the Hampton Roads region and spending a year at Denbigh High School in a similar capacity. Dee's first head coaching job was at Southhampton High School from 1981-1984 before his illustrious 24-year career at Phoebus.
Dee is a 1975 Mansfield State graduate where he played four seasons at offensive guard.
