Douglas Keith Nussmeier (born December 11, 1970) is an American football coach and former player who is the quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played professionally as a quarterback in the NFL and Canadian Football League (CFL). Nussmeier played college football for the Idaho Vandals football, winning the Walter Payton Award as the most outstanding offensive player in NCAA Division I-AA. He was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL draft. He finished his playing career with the CFL's BC Lions.

Nussmeier previously served as an assistant coach for the Florida Gators, the Michigan Wolverines, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Washington Huskies, the Fresno State Bulldogs and the Michigan State Spartans. Nussmeier has also previously served as quarterbacks coach for the St. Louis Rams, the Dallas Cowboys, the Ottawa Renegades and the BC Lions.

Nussmeier is the father of Garrett Nussmeier, currently starting quarterback for the LSU Tigers.[2][3]

Early years

[edit]

Born in Portland, Oregon, Nussmeier is a 1989 graduate of Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, a suburb south of Portland. He did not start at quarterback for the Pacers football team until his senior season.[4]

Playing career

[edit]

College

[edit]

Though he followed Pac-10 quarterbacks Erik Wilhelm and Jason Palumbis at Lakeridge, the left-handed Nussmeier was not recruited by the conference.[4] He played college football at Idaho under John L. Smith, and won the 1993 Walter Payton Award, presented annually to the Division I-AA player of the year. That year, Nussmeier threw a school-record 33 touchdown passes, leading the Vandals to an 11–3 record and the national semifinals.[5] During his final two seasons at Idaho (1992–93), the offensive coordinator was Scott Linehan, later an NFL offensive coordinator and head coach. Linehan was the Vandals' starting quarterback for three seasons (1984–86). A four-year starter at quarterback, Nussmeier succeeded John Friesz, another Walter Payton Award winner in 1989, Nussmeier's redshirt season.

As a fifth-year senior in 1993, Nussmeier had a QB rating of 172.2 - completing 185-of-304 throws (.609) for 2,960 yards and a school-record 33 touchdowns. Nussmeier still ranks among the NCAA I-AA all-time leaders in passing (No. 9 with 10,824 career yards) and total offense (No. 10 at 309.1 yards per game). He is one of only five quarterbacks in NCAA history to throw for at least 10,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards (1,230), joining Alcorn State's Steve McNair (1991–94), Central Florida's Daunte Culpepper (1996–98), Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour (2006–09), and Nevada's Colin Kaepernick (2007–10). Nussmeier set Vandal career records for passing yards, TD passes (91), passing efficiency (175.2), completion percentage (.609, 746–1,225) and total offense (12,054 yards; 308.4 yards per game).

Nussmeier earned his bachelor's degree in business from the University of Idaho in 1994.

National Football League

[edit]

Nussmeier was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL draft, 116th overall.[6] He was the fourth quarterback selected, behind first round selections Heath Shuler and Trent Dilfer.

Nussmeier was a reserve quarterback in the NFL for five seasons in the mid-1990s, spending four years with the New Orleans Saints (1994–97)[7][8] and one with the Indianapolis Colts (1998). Over his NFL career, he saw playing time in eight regular-season games, throwing for 455 yards, with one touchdown and four interceptions.[9] In 1998, Nussmeier spent part of training camp with the Denver Broncos, but was released prior to the regular season and picked up by the Colts. He is one of only 32 left-handed quarterbacks to play in the NFL.

Canadian Football League

[edit]

Nussmeier finished his playing career with the BC Lions of the CFL in 2000, and stayed with the organization as the quarterbacks coach for 2001.

Coaching career

After coaching the quarterbacks for the BC Lions in 2001, he became the quarterbacks coach and de facto offensive coordinator of the Ottawa Renegades in 2002.

Alabama

[edit]

In January 2012, Nussmeier became the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama in Tuscaloosa under head coach Nick Saban,[12][13] replacing outgoing coordinator Jim McElwain, the new head coach at Colorado State.[14] Under Nussmeier's guidance in 2012, junior quarterback A. J. McCarron set the school record for touchdowns in a season with 26.[15] McCarron threw an additional four touchdowns in the national championship game against Notre Dame in a 42–14 victory,[16] which allowed McCarron to set another school record for career touchdown passes.[17]

Michigan

[edit]

In 2014, Nussmeier was hired at Michigan in Ann Arbor on January 9, following the firing of offensive coordinator Al Borges.[18][19][20][21]

On February 14, 2018, Nussmeier was hired by the Dallas Cowboys as their tight ends coach under head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. In 2020, Nussmeier was retained by the Cowboys under new head coach Mike McCarthy, being promoted to quarterbacks coach.
