Dartmouth QB Coach

Chris Rorke's senior year bio

*

It wasn't exactly a secret, but former Dartmouth quarterback Chris Rorke '89 is the Big Green's new Quarterback Coach/Passing Game Coordinator. While the official announcement is still forthcoming, an emailer notes that his Linkedin page lists his new role. He also now appears in the Dartmouth email directory, so the word is getting out.

Rorke returns to Dartmouth from Division III Trinity College of the NESCAC, sometimes referred to as the Little Ivies. This is from his Trinity bio:

Rorke came to Trinity after spending three seasons in the same position at Lehigh University, where he helped the Engineers win a Patriot League title in 2004 and lead the conference in scoring, total offense, and passing offense in 2004 and 2005. Two of Rorke’s Lehigh quarterbacks finished ranked among the top 12 in the nation in pass efficiency. Also possessing Division III head coaching experience, Rorke coached Plymouth State University from 1999 to 2002 and guided the Panthers to a league title in 2001 and an ECAC Northeast Championship crown in 1999.

Prior to Plymouth State, Rorke was the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and head golf coach at Illinois Wesleyan University. That team won a pair of league titles and reached the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals in 1996. He also served as the wide receivers coach for three years at Dartmouth College and as a graduate assistant for two seasons at 1990 NCAA Division I-A National Co-Champion Georgia Tech. Rorke earned his bachelor’s degree in government from Dartmouth College in 1989, where he played quarterback for the football team.
