Coaching career

[edit]

Naghavi started his coaching career at McNeese State as their offensive line and tight ends coach.[3] From there he would become an offensive quality control coach for the Texas Longhorns for two seasons.[3] He would then return to McNeese State as their offensive line coach, where he would stay for two seasons.[4] Then he would get his first FBS offensive line coaching position at Louisiana–Monroe in 2017, a position he would hold until 2019.[5] Then in 2020 he was promoted to be the offensive coordinator for Louisiana-Monroe.[6] However, after just one season as the offensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe, he left for the Georgia State Panthers to become their offensive line coach.[7] After one season with the panthers he would leave for the offensive line coaching position at Tulane.[8] In his one season at Tulane he helped lead them to a Cotton Bowl win against USC.[9] He would then be hired by the Houston Cougars to be their co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.[10]
