Arlington Nunn is in his second stint at Stephen F. Austin, joining McFarland's coaching staff in January, 2005. Nunn is entering his 14th year as a collegiate assistant, six of which have been spent at SFA. Nunn guided one of most explosive receiving units in the Southland Conference last season. The Lumberjacks had three receivers among the league's top 10 in receptions per game and four receivers among the conference's top 10 in receiving yards per game. Under Nunn's guidance, sophomore Tyrell Williams and freshman Dominique Edison recorded breakout seasons. Williams caught 36 passes for 549 yards and five touchdowns, while Edison caught 30 passes for 550 yards and four scores. Senior Carl Price also turned in his best season as a Lumberjack, finishing among the league's top 10 with 586 receiving yards on 41 receptions, including four touchdown grabs. Price ended his career as an honorable mention all-conference honoree. Nunn also was a Lumberjack assistant coach from 1996-2000, coaching linebackers and the secondary. During his first stint with the 'Jacks, Nunn helped tutor two-time All-America and current Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. He also was a member of the 1999 coaching staff that guided the 'Jacks to a Southland Football League title. The Clearwater, Fla., native made stops at Baylor, Navarro Junior College and Sam Houston State before arriving on the SFA campus in 1996. After leaving Nacogdoches, Nunn spent three years as the receivers' coach at Troy State University and was the running backs' coach at the University of Mississippi in 2004. A 1991 graduate of Clemson University, Nunn was a standout performer for the Tigers, helping Clemson to four straight 10-2 records and two ACC titles. An Academic All-ACC pick as a junior, Nunn helped Clemson to the nation's top-ranked defensive unit as a senior. Nunn played in four bowl games at Clemson and coached the Baylor Bears in the 1991 Copper Bowl. He holds a Bachelor of Science in marketing from Clemson (1991) and a Master of Science in Education from Baylor (1994). Nunn and his wife, Monique, are the parents of a daughter, Alyssa (4).
