Josh Lamberson

UNK Head Football Coach

Dancing Lambo

Now a star Division II quarterback who led his team to the national championship… you would think he has some moves. Or at least some quick feet. But Josh Lamberson, the Lopers’ first-year head football coach, claims his only dancing ability is with the Polka. Remember, he is from Wilber. He says his favorite dances are the ones that come with directions, like Electric Slide or Cupid Shuffle. “Lambo” takes his sideline orders at home from wife Mandy, and together they are parents to Kiya, 3; and Ace, 1. Josh was active before moving to Kearney with Habitat for Humanity, United Way, and their church, and KDWTS is his first venture into volunteering in Kearney. He hopes to manage getting in practice time in between fall season, winter recruiting, and spring season. Look out guys, Josh is competitive, and he will have the edge with anything that a 3-year-old would dance.

Favorite dance style: “Polka?”

Song that will absolutely get you on the dance floor: “Pharell’s ‘Happy’”

Words to describe what I look like when I’m dancing: “Awkward.”

Are you a fan of Dancing with the Stars?: “Honestly, I’ve never seen it. I’m not sure how it even works.”
