A WORK IN PROGRESS: UAPB Head Football Coach
Lee Hardman has reconstructed the Golden Lions'
program in just two years.
UII
He knows how to
win. He did it in high school and
he is one step away from the
completion of a miracle turn­
around at the college level.
Lee Hardman had
everything to 10 when he took
over as head coach of the Ar­
kansas-Pine Bluff Golden Li­
on two year ago.. The school
had ju t come off the NAJA
"death penalty" and decided not
to field a team in the 1992 ea-
on. Pine Bluff administrators
then decided to look close to
home and chose Hardman, one
of the winninge t high school
football coache in Arkan as, to direct the re urrection of Golden
Lion football.
Hardman, a former defen ive back for UAPB, had just
completed hi ixth traight undefeated eason at Dollarway High
School in Pine Bluff. "I have alway wanted to coach at UAPB,"
Hardman said. " aching at my alma mater i like a dream come
During Hardman' tenure at Dollarway, his team cap­
tured four tate title .made six appearance in tate champion hip
game , won nine conference titles and compiled a 34-0 record
while winning ix con ecutive conference title .
In hi first e n at Pine Bluff, the Lion had to forfeit
a 32-22 win over Harding University in his coaching debut. Still,
the 18000 UAPB fans present for the Arkansas Cia ic matchup at
Little Rock' War Memorial were extremely pleased with what
they saw. Hardman' philosophy wa imple. "What I try to do is
find football players who have a love for the game", he said, "If he
can think, block and tackle, I can make a football player out of that
person."
The Lio� went on to fini h 5-6. Thi year Hardman et
out to improve on hi first collegiate eason. Putting together a
team of fre hmen, junior college player and tran fers from other
school ,the 1994 Golden Lion' football team tarted it' quest for
a national title with a 15-14 win over Harding on August 27.
UAPB finished the nat 7-3 and barely qualified for
the NAJA playoff . The Golden Lion faced d fending champion
and top ranked Central State in the first round November 19, and
hocked th world with a 21-14 victory.
"W beat entral tate with our defen ive quickne ,"
aid Carl Whimper, UAPB Sport Information Director. "They
(Central tate) did nottake u eriou ly. We played a perfect game,
cked th ir quarterbac ix tim and h ked everybody."
In th emifinal again t We tern Montana the score w .
tied 53-5 at the nd of regulation. QBChri Robinson scored or. a
one yard run to give UAPB a 60-53 lead. We tern Montana drove
