Robert Rubel is an American football coach. He is the head football coach at Robinson High School in Robinson, Texas, a position he has held since 2020.[1] Rubel served as the head football coach at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas for one season, in 2006.[2] Rubel had interviewed for the head position at Texas A&M University–Kingsville, considered to be one of the more prestigious coaching opportunities in NCAA Division II and was asked by the Tabor administration not to return.[3] In his one season as head coach, the team accomplished a record of 6–4. Rubel was only the second coach in school history to have a winning record in his first season.[4]
Rubel is known as a defensive coach and has long been a proponent of the 46 defense. At Cisco College he had the 13th-ranked defense in the nation, giving up 278 yards per game. Cisco also ranked third nationally in turnovers with 35, and first in interceptions with 21. At North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS), his defense ranked ninth nationally with 227 yards per game, and helped NDSCS to a Graphic Edge Bowl win. At Tabor, the defense was ranked 12th in the nation in rush defense at 88 yards per game, 24th in total defense at 262 yards per game, and 26th in scoring defense at 19 points per game, while breaking the school record for defensive touchdowns. At Buffalo High School, the defense was first in the district in scoring defense and fourth in the region, taking the team to its first playoff win in 55 years, and first 10-win season in 56 years.
Rubel was an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma.[5] He also was an assistant coach at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.[6]
