Mark Fabish begins his first season as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach in 2008. He will also handle all aspects of recruiting. Fabish comes to `The Ocean State' after spending the last 10 years at Monmouth University, the last six as offensive coordinator. In 2007, the Hawks led the Northeast Conference (NEC) in passing offense (207.9 ypg) and placed three offensive players on the NEC First Team. In 2006, five members of the Monmouth offense earned All-Northeast Conference honors. The 2005 Hawks squad featured current Dalklas Cowboys WR Miles Austin, who became the third player in the history of the Northeast Conference to post 1,000 yards receiving in one season (20.5 yards per reception). Monmouth captured the second NEC title in school history and MU's first-ever I-AA Mid-Major National Championship in 2004. Fabish spent two seasons as wide receivers coach and two more as quarterbacks coach prior to his appointment as offensive coordinator. He arrived at Monmouth following a tryout at the Atlanta Falcons mini-camp and a stint as special teams coordinator at Don Bosco Prep High School in Ramsey, N.J. in 1997. Fabish enjoyed an illustrious playing career at Penn from 1993-96, helping the Quakers win two Ivy League titles while helping string together an NCAA-best 24 consecutive victories from 1993-95. He ended his career as the Quakers all-time leader in career punt return average and kickoff return yardage. Fabish was named to the All-Ivy League team following his senior season in 1996, and also received the Edger Church Memorial Award, which is voted on by Penn letterwinners and granted to the player who contributed most to the team's success. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in American Civilization in 1997. A native of Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. and a graduate of Bergen Catholic High School, Fabish led the Crusaders to back-to-back undefeated state championship seasons in 1991 and 1992. updated: 7/22/08 |
