Lancaster comes to Academy from Troy, where he served as offensive coordinator, but he was head coach at Bruceville-Eddy (2009-2013) and in Georgia along with being an assistant at Baylor, Sam Houston State, McNeese State and Kentucky.
The Bumblebees suffered through a 2-9 season last year, losing their final five games after reaching the playoffs in 2018.
