Robert Anae joined the Arizona staff in January 2011 and was re-hired by Rich Rodriguez in December 2012 as UA's offensive line coach. A 20-year Division I coaching veteran, he brought extensive experience with the spread attack from stints at BYU and Texas Tech.
Anae was offensive coordinator and inside receivers coach at BYU from 2005-10 and has a strong background in offensive football as a former BYU player under LaVell Edwards and five years spent in Lubbock, Texas, on Mike Leach's staff from 2000-04. Anae was a Frank Broyles Award nominee for Assistant Coach of the Year in 2003 with Texas Tech and in 2011 with Arizona.
Anae began his coaching career as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line at Hawaii in 1986-87, working Dick Tomey's final season in Honolulu before he took the Arizona job. He then was a grad assistant for a pair of years at BYU in 1990 and 1991 before coaching the offensive line at Ricks College in Idaho from 1992-95. He coached at Boise State and UNLV before joining the Tech staff.
He was born in Lai'e on Hawaii's north shore and is a graduate of Kahuka High School. He served a Mormon mission stateside in Tulsa, Okla. He graduated from BYU in 1986, earned a master's degree in sociology from BYU in 1990 and a doctorate from Brigham Young in 1999 while serving as an assistant director in the BYU student-athlete center and NCAA Life Skills director. He is Arizona's first-ever football coach with a doctoral degree.
Anae and his wife, Liane, have two sons, Famika and Max, and a daughter, Penny. Famika is currently an offensive lineman at BYU. Anae's father, Famika, and brothers, Brad and Matt, also played football for BYU. Anae's father also had a 22-year coaching career at Kahuka High School.
