Chase Andrew Cole Holbrook (born September 27, 1985) is an American football coach who is currently the director of football strategy for the Baylor Bears. He previously served as the quarterbacks coach at Colorado State. Holbrook played college football starting in 2004 as a backup quarterback for Southeastern Louisiana under Hal Mumme. Upon Mumme accepting the head coaching job at New Mexico State, Holbrook soon followed and spent his final three seasons as the starting quarterback for the Aggies.
Holbrook attended L. D. Bell High School in Hurst, Texas. While at Bell, Holbrook was an option style quarterback. Due to his high school's offense, Holbrook was receiving scholarship offers from colleges that wanted him to play tight end.
Holbrook received offers from Missouri, TCU and Tulsa, but turned down their offers at a chance to be a quarterback at Southeastern Louisiana. Holbrook appeared in 10 games as a true freshman for the Lions, completing 7 of 9 passes from 75 yards, in Hal Mumme's pass friendly offense. Following the 2004 season, Mumme took the head coaching job at New Mexico State, and Holbrook followed him still wanting to play quarterback. Holbrook sat out the 2005 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Holbrook was named the starting quarterback for the Aggies the following fall. During his collegiate career Holbrook played a total of 44 games, completing 1,093 of 1,575 attempts for a total of 11,921 yards with 85 touchdowns and 41 interceptions. In his first year at NMSU he threw for 4,619 yards and had 4,541 yards of total offense, setting an NCAA single-season record. That same season he scored 34 touchdowns with only 9 interceptions, breaking many of the school's single-season records in the process.
