American college football season
The 2011 West Texas A&M Buffaloes football team represented West Texas A&M University during the 2010 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). Led by seventh-year head coach Don Carthel , the Buffaloes played their home games at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in Canyon, Texas .
The team finished the regular season with an overall record of 7–3 with a LSC record of 6–2, finishing third in the conference. For just the second time under Carthel, the Buffs failed to receive a bid for the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Instead, the team was invited to the Kanza Bowl , where they defeated Central Missouri 26–7.[ 1]
In January 2011, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Nesbitt was hired for the same position with the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Nesbitt was replaced by Stephen Lee, who previously served as co-offensive coordinator/passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Brenham High School in Brenham, Texas .[ 5]
