Coaching career

In 1959, Kubilus was appointed as the head coach at John Carroll University for one season. He led the school to its third straight title in the President's Athletic Conference. As he was hired on a part-time basis, due to his job as a wage and salary administrator for the Chase Brass and Copper Company, he was ineligible to continue for another season as PAC rules dictated that part-time coaches could only be hired for a single season.
