Pribble has been on the Saxon Football staff as the Assistant Coach/Offensive Coordinator since March of 2018.

Pribble, who earned his master's degree in education from Alfred University, came to the valley from NCAA Division I (FCS) Fordham University as an Offensive Assistant Coach. He aided the offense to a third-place finish in the Patriot League in total offense (371.7 yards per game), passing offense (238.9 yards per game) and team passing efficiency (124.11).

While at Fordham, Pribble developed two Rams that would eventually ply their trade in the National Football League. Running back Chase Edmonds, a 2018 graduate, was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round (134 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. Offensive Tackle Anthony Coyle, also a 2018 graduate, signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 draft. As of the 2020 season, Coyle is currently a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
 
Prior to Fordham, Pribble served as the Offensive Coordinator at Division II Lock Haven University in 2015 and 2016. While coaching the Bald Eagles, Pribble revitalized the struggling offensive unit into one of the premier threats in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. He coached one AP Little All-America Third Team member in 2016 when wide receiver Shawn Seif became the only wide receiver to record over 1,000 yards receiving in a single season in school history. Four other LHU players landed on the East All-PSAC First Team during Pribble's tenure.
 
Also, with the Bald Eagles, Pribble's offense set new school records in total offensive yards during back-to-back seasons (4,603 in 2015; 4,954 in 2016). The offense also set new school marks in passing yards (3,158) and points in a season (323) during its' 2016 campaign.
 
Pribble coached the only quarterback in LHU history to throw for more than 3,000 yards in a season when Caleb Walton threw for 3,115 yards (school record) during the 2016 season. Walton went on to set records in passing touchdowns in a season (23), average passing yards per attempt in a season (8.2), passing yards per game in a season (283.2), total offensive yards in a season (3,421), total offensive yards per game in a season (311.0) and touchdowns responsible for in a season (26) - a feat he completed in both 2015 and 2016.
 
Before Lock Haven, Pribble was the Offensive Coordinator/Quarterback and Wide Receivers Coach at Urbana University during the 2014 season. The Blue Knights' passing offense ranked number two in the Mountain East Conference in 2014, averaging 289.6 yard per game, while tight end La'Velle Spivey became the first player in school history to earn All-Region honors.
 
Prior to Urbana, he served as the Pass-Game Coordinator, Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers Coach at Manchester University in North Manchester, IN from 2011 to 2013.
 
Pribble served as the Wide Receivers Coach at Alfred University during the 2009 and 2010 seasons when the Saxons won back-to-back Empire 8 Championships. AU advanced to the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals during the 2010 season – a feat that was unmatched by the program until the 2016 season. Pribble helped generate two All-America wide receivers in Jared Manzer and Ryan Thon who were named AFCA First Team All-America and D3Football.com Honorable Mention, respectively.
 
Pribble earned his bachelor's degree in business management from Lock Haven University in 2008. He completed his master's degree in education in 2011 while at AU.
