In 1996, Rebowe helped lead Nicholls State to its first NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearance in a decade and completed one of the greatest one-year turnarounds in NCAA Division I-AA history. [9] That year as defensive backs coach, Rebowe helped lead the Colonels defense to a number seven national ranking in passing efficiency defense in NCAA Division I-AA. [10]

On February 1, 1999, Rebowe was named acting head coach after head coach Darren Barbier left to accept another position. [11] For the 1999 season under head coach Daryl Daye, Rebowe remained defensive backs coach and became recruiting coordinator while relinquishing the role of special teams coordinator.

[19] In 2005, the Ragin Cajuns' pass defense was ranked 23rd nationally, allowing only 190 yards per game. [19]

As linebackers coach from 2008 to 2010, Rebowe coached players led the team in tackles for three years straight. [19] In both 2008 and 2009, Antwyne Zanders and Grant Fleming were named All-Sun Belt Conference. [19] Rebowe returned to coaching safeties starting in 2011 and remained in that role through 2014. [20] Louisiana–Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth said in a November 2011 news article, "Tim Rebowe, I think, is the best recruiter in the state of Louisiana." [21] [22]
