Jeff Quinn (born September 26, 1962) is a former college football coach of the University at Buffalo football team.[1] He was the 24th head coach in University at Buffalo football history. He replaced Turner Gill who left for Kansas following the 2009 season.

Playing career

Quinn graduated from Elmhurst College in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in education. At Elmhurst, he played both offensive line in football and wrestled as a heavyweight. He was named NCAA Division III All-American third team following his senior season. He also won two College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championships as a wrestler and was inducted into Elmhurst's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.[2]

Coaching career

Quinn has been a college football coach for 26 years, 21 of which have been as an assistant to Brian Kelly at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati. Quinn coached at DePauw University, where he earned a master's degree in educational leadership, and Ohio Northern University before moving on to Grand Valley State. Quinn followed Kelly to Central Michigan, then followed him again to Cincinnati, where he served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.[3] Quinn was a finalist for the 2009 Broyles Award, an award given to college football's best assistant coach.[4] He served as an iterim head coach for the 2006 Motor City Bowl (which he coached for Central Michigan after Kelly left for the head coaching job at Cincinnati) and the 2010 Sugar Bowl (which he coached for Cincinnati after Kelly left for Notre Dame).

In December 2009 Quinn was tapped to replace Turner Gill for the University at Buffalo.[5] After coaching Cincinnati to a loss in the Sugar Bowl Quinn officially began his duties as a head coach.
