Niel Loebig, who broke 13 of 15 school passing records as an undergraduate quarterback at Duquesne, is in his fourth season as quarterbacks coach.

Loebig, who has helped two former DU quarterbacks to NCAA FCS top 15 pass efficiency ratings (Scott Knapp 5th in 2006 and Kevin Rombach 13th in 2007), assumed the title of passing game coordinator prior to this season.

One of a select group of players at all NCAA levels to throw for over 10,000 yards and 100 touchdowns, Loebig led the Dukes to four consecutive MAAC titles, (2001-04) and a I-AA Mid-Major National Championship in 2003. He is the only Duquesne four-time first team All-MAAC player and only player in school history to throw for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in four different seasons.

After finishing at Duquesne, Loebig entertained offers from arenafootball2 teams prior to going into private business with his family and eventually into coaching.

Loebig, 27, who received his degree in education in 2005, married former DU soccer letterman Lindsay O'Connell last July. The couple resides in Canonsburg, Pa.
