With nearly two decades of coaching experience across the NFL and the highest levels of college football, Tim Zetts brings a wealth of offensive knowledge, leadership, and championship pedigree to the Blue & Gold.
Zetts most recently served on the staff of the Las Vegas Raiders as an Offensive Assistant and Assistant Offensive Line Coach during the 2024 NFL season. Prior to his time in Las Vegas, he was a key part of the Chicago Bears’ offensive staff, coaching quarterbacks and tight ends over a two-year span and playing a central role in the team’s red zone success.Â
Before reaching the professional ranks, Zetts made a national name for himself at Austin Peay State University, where he served as Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach. Under his leadership, the Governors captured their first Ohio Valley Conference title since 1977 and reached the NCAA quarterfinals for the first time in program history, finishing the season ranked in the top 10 nationally in total yards, red zone scoring, and points per game.
Zetts also held prominent roles at Mississippi State, John Carroll University, and Fordham University before his time at Austin Peay. He consistently developed record-setting offenses and future professional talent, most notably NFL running back Chase Edmonds and national award winner DeAngelo Wilson.
Zetts began his collegiate playing career as a quarterback at the University of Akron, where he was part of the 2005 Mid-American Conference championship team, before transferring to Saginaw Valley State University. He earned a degree in Business and Organizational Communications from Akron in 2009.
