In 2005, he was appointed the tight ends coach at Middle Tennessee under head coach Andy McCollum and offensive coordinator Darin Hinshaw. He had several stints at assistant roles at East Central CC, LSU, and Oklahoma State. From 2010 to 2011, he became the Offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at West Georgia.

Following the 2013 season, Elarbee accepted the position as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Arkansas State University [4]
