Bobby Blick enters his second season on the Samford football staff, and his first season as Director of Player Personnel and Special Teams Coordinator.
In his first season on the staff, Blick coaches the Bulldogs’ tight ends and slot receivers.
Blick came to Samford from Georgia Tech where he served as a staff assistant for special teams and quality control during the spring of 2014. Prior to working at Georgia Tech, Blick worked with the Samford coaches as an offensive analyst earlier in that spring.
Blick coached at Elon University, working with the team’s tight ends and running backs from 2011 to 2013.
In Blick’s first season with Elon, the Phoenix sported a veteran pair of tight ends in Andre Labinowicz and Taylor Berry. He also oversaw the move to the position by former fullback Matt Eastman.
In 2012, Blick guided a young group of tight ends to 16 receptions for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Of the tight ends that saw action, three saw their first intercollegiate game action, while another was a senior who moved to the position the previous spring.
Prior to working at Elon, Blick served as an offensive graduate assistant on the staff at North Carolina State University from 2008 to 2011. Blick was a part of teams that made two bowl appearances, including a 23-7 win over West Virginia University in the 2010 Champs Sports Bowl. That season, N.C. State ranked third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring offense, averaging 31.8 points per game, and was fourth in total offense, averaging 338.5 yards per outing.
Blick was also an undergraduate assistant at N.C. State from 2004 to 2007. He was part of the staff that helped the Wolfpack team to the 2005 Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Blick graduated from N.C. State in 2007 with a degree in political science and a concentration in secondary education.
