Coaching career

Montana State University

Graber got his first collegiate head coaching job on December 16, 1981, when he was hired by Montana State University.^[1] During his only season in Bozeman, he led the Bobcats to a 6–5 overall record and a tie for the first place in the Big Sky Conference with a 5–2 league record.^[2]^[3] He left the school in February 1983 to become an assistant coach with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League.^[4]

National Football League

Graber was a member of the Chiefs' staff for four seasons, working for head coach John Mackovic. He handled defensive quality control duties during his first year, while also helping defensive coordinator Bud Carson coach the defensive backs. In August 1984, Carson resigned and Graber took over coaching the secondary.^[5]

Frankfurt Galaxy

After a five-year hiatus from coaching, Graber was hired as the head coach of NFL Europe's Frankfurt Galaxy on September 18, 2000.^[6] He became the fourth coach in team history, succeeding Jack Elway (1991–1992), Ernie Stautner (1995–1997) and Dick Curl (1998–2000). In his first year at the helm, the Galaxy finished sixth in the league with a record of 3–7.
