In 2002, Goebbel got his first opportunity as a coordinator, coordinating the offense for the Quincy Hawks. In his two seasons, Goebbel's offense ranked 13th and 10th, nationally, in total offense. [2]

Ohio State

Following the 2004 season, Goebbel made the jump to Division I football for the first time, when he joined Jim Tressel’s Ohio State staff as a defensive quality control coach. [2]

Marshall

The following season, Goebbel returned to coordinating, the time as the special teams coordinator, for the Marshall Thundering Herd and newly hired head coach Mark Snyder. Snyder had previously been the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, and the two had worked closely together. Goebbel also coached the team's receivers. [2]

Ohio Dominican

Following the 2009 season, Snyder resigned from the head coaching position, and Goebbel wasn't retained. He returned to the state of Ohio as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for the Ohio Dominican Panthers. From 2010 through 2014, Goebbel led a prolific offense that produced multiple Harlon Hill Trophy candidates, along with 15 all conference players. In 2014, his offense helped lead the Panthers to an 11–2 season, a birth in the NCAA Division II football playoffs, reaching the regional championship game, and a no. 4 ranking in both the AFCA and D2football.com polls. [2]

Return to Marshall

Following the 2014 season, Goebbel received a chance to return to Marshall when he was hired as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach by Doc Holliday. The next season, he switched to coaching receivers, before being promoted to co-offensive coordinator for the 2017 season. Goebbel then switched back to tight ends for the 2018 season. [3]

During his tenure, Marshall's special teams stood out. In 2015, The Herd led the nation in special teams efficiency according to ESPN and return specialist Deandre Reaves was named the conference special teams player of the year and tying the school record for return touchdowns with three. Additionally, Long snapper Matt Beardall was named an all-conference player, and Matt Cincotta finished his career with an amazing 569/569 successful snaps. [2]

North Carolina State

Impressed with Goebbel's work with the Thundering Herd special teams, after playing Marshall in both 2017 and 2018, North Carolina State head coach Dave Doeren hired him to be the new special teams coordinator for the Wolfpack. Goebbel would also continue his work with offensive players, coaching the Pack's tight ends and fullbacks. At the time of his hiring, Doeren saint, “What drew me to Todd was how impressed I’ve been with Marshall’s special teams when we’ve played them each of the past two years,” said Doeren. “I’m excited to add a guy to our staff who has great knowledge in the kicking game - running all of the units and coaching the specialists- and who also knows how to coach multiple positions on offense. He has developed players at tight end, quarterback and wide receiver during his career. He is known as a terrific recruiter and I was blown away by his organization, teaching method, passion for the game, and relationship-building skills.” [3]

During his time in Raleigh, Goebbel has developed Trenton Gill into an NFL draft pick as a punter, as well as Placekicker Christopher Dunn who broke multiple school records, in addition to the multiple offensive players he has coached and developed. [4]
