University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point Athletics

Hebert served as Assistant Football Coach and Defensive Coordinator for UW-Stevens Point football from 1984 to 1998, and as Associate Dean and Head of the School of Health Exercise Science and Athletics from 1998 to 2009. His career is marked by outstanding leadership, dedication, and support of Pointer Athletics. Through his coaching tenure, it is clear the totality of his contributions and his excellence have made a profound impact on his athletes, the Pointer Championship Football teams of the 1980's and on all UWSP Athletics thereafter. 
 
Although primarily serving in support roles for athletics (first as defensive coordinator then as Head of Health Exercise Sciences and Athletics) Hebert always seemed to be making a positive impact, which showed up as wins and championships.  It is no coincidence that the most successful Pointer football teams over the past 50 years happened when Hebert was involved.  Working in partnership with now retired Athletic Director Frank O'Brien, Hebert oversaw an Athletics program that was recognized as one of the nation's most successful in NCAA Division III. Under the leadership of O'Brien and Hebert, UWSP teams won more than 50 WIAC championships, took more than a dozen different athletic teams to Final Four appearances, and brought several national championships trophies to Stevens Point. During this period, Hebert was a spokesperson for athletics, lobbyist for support among campus administration and one of athletics biggest volunteers.  He attended or served as volunteer games manager at many, many athletics events. Regardless of his role, Hebert was a coach's coach, a hard worker, full of integrity, and someone who cared about his programs, coaches, and student-athletes.
