Tom Cable was the head coach at the University of Idaho, his alma mater from 2000–2003. At Idaho, Cable compiled a record of 11–35 (.239) in four straight losing seasons. Idaho did not renew Cable's contract at the conclusion of the 2003 season, and he was quickly replaced by Nick Holt. Five of Cable's losses at Idaho were to lower Division I-AA schools, while one of his wins was against a I-AA school.
