| - Amedee played quarterback and placekicker under coaches Paul Dietzel and Charles McClendon at Louisiana State from 1960-1962. He was not drafted in the 1963 NFL Draft but started a pro career with the Edmonton Eskimos until he was waived before the 1964 CFL season. Later Amedee started a coaching career, returning to his alma mater as quarterbacks coach under head coach McClendon from 1975-1979. In 1980 he became head coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin. He guided the school to a 8-14-0 record in two years before resigning in order to join the coaching staff at Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette). He left USL after one season, heading to Vanderbilt to become offensive coordinator under head coach George MacIntyre. Amedee left Vanderbilt after the 1984 season, as he was hired as offensive coordinator by new Texas A&M head coach Jackie Sherrill. In 1988 he became offensive coordinator under head coach Galen Hall at the University of Florida, where he drew criticism for his strategy to use sophomore running back Emmitt Smith as a “decoy”. 1988 was Smith's only season with less than 1,000 yards rushing. In 1989 Amedee was hired as offensive coordinator by Texas head coach David McWilliams. After McWilliams resignation in 1991, Amedee sat out for a year, before joining Curley Hallman's coaching staff at his alma mater LSU. Hallman was fired in after the 1994 season. He went on to coach one season at New Iberia (Louisiana) Senior High, and left the school that December to accept the offensive coordinator position under Sherrill at Mississippi State. In 1999, Amedee left the collegiate ranks, taking over head coaching duties at Opelousas High School in Opelousas, Louisiana.
