ESPN.com will catch up with a notable sports figure from yesteryear each Thursday in its "Where Are They Now?" series.
Claim to fame: Stan Humphries quarterbacked the San Diego Chargers to their only Super Bowl appearance in the 1994 season. He led the NFL with five comeback wins that season as the Chargers upset the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game before losing to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX.
Humphries spent his first four NFL seasons with Washington prior to being traded to San Diego for a third-round draft pick during training camp in 1992. He earned a Super Bowl ring with Washington in the 1991 season, although he didn't appear in a game that season. He guided the 1992 Chargers to the playoffs after an 0-4 start, the only time in NFL history a team has qualified for the postseason after opening the season with four consecutive losses.
Humphries compiled a 50-31 record as a starter during his 10-year NFL career, passing for 17,191 yards and 89 touchdowns along the way. He won the Division I-AA national championship in 1987 as a senior at Northeast Louisiana, now known as Louisiana Monroe.
He was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame in 2002 and the San Diego Hall of Champions in 2004.
Catching up: After retiring as a player in 1998, Humphries returned to Louisiana and spent three seasons on the football staff at ULM. He began coaching his daughters in basketball and eventually spent 12 years coaching Louisiana high school girls basketball in Monroe and Natchitoches.
He joined the Louisiana Monroe women's basketball staff in April 2014 and remains with the Warhawks program under head coach Jeff Dow this season.
The career change from football to women's basketball might seem unlikely to some -- presumably he's the only Super Bowl quarterback to serve as a Division I women's basketball coach -- but it makes perfect sense for Humphries. "I always loved basketball, probably even more than football," he said.
Humphries, 50, lives in Monroe with his wife of 28 years, Connie. Both of the couple's daughters played college sports. Brooke is a nurse who played tennis at Northwestern State. Chelsea played basketball at Mississippi College and currently studies dental hygiene at ULM.
Quotable: "When we got back to San Diego, there were 10,000 people lined up on the highway and another 65,000 or so in the stadium. It was like a big pep rally." -- Humphries, on the Chargers' hometown reception after winning the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 15, 1995.
What's next? Humphries said he enjoys his coaching role and playing a part in getting students ready for the world. He's focused on the current season -- the Warhawks are 2-1, including an overtime loss at LSU -- and isn't considering any grandiose career aspirations. "I've never really been a person who jumps ahead much," he said.
