Larry Reisbig

"Wouldn't that be something, to have a national championship here," Larry Reisbig said last week at spring practice, spouting in high volume the optimism that runs through the new Cal State Long Beach football coach. After 24 years of coaching at high schools and junior colleges, Reisbig, 47, of Newhall, has the job he always wanted. And if you were to guess his line of work, a coach would come quickly to mind, just ahead of a military officer.

Each day, on his way to practice, Long Beach City College football Coach Larry Reisbig is beckoned by a trophy case beneath the stands at Veterans Stadium. It reminds him of the new job he has undertaken. In the case are footballs from the 1958 Alfalfa Bowl and the 1960 Junior Rose Bowl, a tarnished bronze trophy from the 1962 Shrine Potato Bowl and a plaque recognizing the Vikings' perfect season and national title of 1964.

Larry Reisbig will coach his final football game for Cal State Long Beach today at noon when the 49ers play Utah State in a Big West Conference game at Veterans Stadium. Reisbig, 10-24 in three seasons, announced his resignation on Nov. 9. The 49ers, 3-8 overall and 1-5 in the Big West, were idle last week. They are led by senior quarterback Paul Oates, who is second in the conference in total offense with 207 yards a game.

Cal State Long Beach, which learned of Coach Larry Reisbig's resignation two days ago, plays its next-to-last game under him today, facing Cal State Fullerton in a Big West Conference game at 1 p.m. at Santa Ana Stadium. Reisbig is 10-23 in three seasons at Long Beach. The 49ers are 3-7 this season, 1-4 in the Big West. Their only victory against a Division I opponent was against winless New Mexico State. Fullerton will be trying to pay back Long Beach for an embarrassing loss last season.

Larry Reisbig, former Cal State Long Beach football coach, has been recommended for an assistant's job at Orange Coast College, the school announced Thursday.
