Bill Cubit (born October 14, 1953 in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania) is currently the head coach of the Western Michigan University Broncos football team. His last name (surname) is pronounced "Q-Bit".
Cubit was named head coach on December 4, 2004, succeeding former head coach and current Texas A&M University defensive coordinator Gary Darnell. Cubit turned around a program that was 1-10 the prior season and had three losing seasons in a row to a 7-4 record, the biggest one season turnaround in Mid-American Conference (MAC) history and the second largest one year turnaround in 2005 Division I-A football. For his efforts, Cubit was named the 2005 MAC Coach of the Year.
Cubit was previously the offensive coordinator for the Broncos under Darnell from 1997-1999. He also spent time as the offensive coordinator at Stanford, Missouri, and Rutgers; and five seasons as head coach at Division III Widener University in Philadelphia.
Cubit attended Sharon Hill High School. He graduated from the University of Delaware in 1973 with a B.S. in Business, and later earned his M.A. in Education in 1979 from Saint Joseph's University.
His son, Ryan Cubit, was a three-year starter at quarterback for the WMU football team from 2004-2006.
Cubit led Western Michigan to the International Bowl on January 6, 2007. This was the first bowl game for Western Michigan since 1988, when the team played in the California Raisin Bowl. The Broncos fell to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats 27-24.
