Zebrowski officially named QB coach

As the Daily Chronicle reported first on Saturday, Northern Illinois made it official Monday in hiring Jim Zebrowski as its quarterbacks coach and Pat Poore will move from quarterbacks coach to wide receivers coach.

Zebrowski was the offensive coordinator and coached quarterbacks and receivers at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which won the 2007 and 2009 Division III national championship and played in the 2008 title game. The Warhawks compiled a 42-3 record during his time in Whitewater, including a 15-0 mark in 2009. The 2009 UW-W offense averaged 42.5 points and 489.6 yards per game, and Wisconsin-Whitewater quarterbacks completed 71.1 percent of their passes with 30 touchdowns and seven interceptions with Zebrowski calling the plays. He was named the 2009 Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year and the Division III Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop.com.

"We're excited about adding Jim Zebrowski to our staff at Northern Illinois," coach Jerry Kill said. "He brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience as the offensive coordinator for two national championship teams. It is great to bring in a guy that has accomplished the things we want to do here, who also has recruited the Chicago area"
