Playing Days: A Star Quarterback
Bobby Frazier played quarterback for the Bethune–Cookman Wildcats. He played from 1960 through 1963. During his time, he set many passing records. One amazing play was an 89-yard pass to George Williams in 1962. This is still the longest pass in the team's history!
After college, Frazier also played professional baseball. He played for several seasons in minor leagues. He even reached the Phoenix Giants team. This team was part of the Pacific Coast League.
Coaching at Bethune–Cookman
Frazier started his football coaching career as an assistant. He worked at Bethune–Cookman from 1973 to 1978. On February 14, 1979, he became the head coach. This happened after the previous coach, Andy Hinson, left.
As the Wildcats' head coach, he had a record of 24 wins, 17 losses, and 1 tie. He left his coaching job in December 1982. This followed an internal review about how players were treated and how money was used for sports.
Coaching at UDC
In 1984, Frazier became a head coach again. He coached the UDC Firebirds. He coached them from 1984 to 1989. During this time, his team had 7 wins, 50 losses, and 2 ties.
He was no longer the coach after the 1989 season. The UDC football program was then stopped for the 1990 season. Today, Dr. Frazier is a professor at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida.
