In 1980, he was promoted to defensive coordinator and the head track and field coach.[1] In two seasons as track coach, he coached the team to a 7–3 dual meet record.[1]

After Heacock resigned, he was promoted to the university's assistant vice president of student affairs for external relations.[5]
