Kevin Decker, a 2012 UNH graduate,was named the Bears' Offensive Coordinator in January 2018. He joined the Brown coaching staff as tight ends coach in 2016 after working at Montana State as an offensive assistant.
“I’ve known Kevin since his high school playing days and he’s always been a fiery competitor,” said head coach Phil Estes. “He’s had success as a quarterback at UNH and coaching is what he wants to do in life. At Brown, Kevin raised the level of our tight end play and will do the same with our quarterbacks. He’ll bring the same fire, passion and competitiveness to our team that he gained from a program that has made 14 straight NCAA Tournament appearances.”
An outstanding quarterback at UNH, Decker was the Colonial Athletic Association’s Player of the Year and a finalist for the Walter Payton Award in 2011. He threw for 3272 yards and 22 touchdowns as a senior, while rushing for 429 yards and nine touchdowns. A team captain, he was also the squad’s Most Valuable Player and served on the Team Council Committee at UNH.
Decker worked under Montana State head coach Rob Ash and Offensive Coordinator Tim Cramsey and had responsibilities for opposition film breakdown, game day charting assignments and compiling weekly scouting reports. He worked closely with the offensive coaches during game planning, game evaluation, and personnel evaluation meetings.
At Montana State, he helped the squad to three top national offensive rankings, including yards per play (6.82), touchdowns per game and red zone touchdown percentage.
