COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland head football coach DJ Durkin announced Tuesday that he has completed his coaching staff with the addition of offensive line coach Dave Borbely.
Borbely brings 35 years of collegiate coaching experience to Maryland, including 30 coaching the offensive line. He’s coached the offensive line at nine schools, including Stanford, Notre Dame, Colorado, Louisville and Virginia.
“I’m thrilled to round out my initial coaching staff at Maryland with the addition of Dave Borbely,” said Durkin. “Dave has a wealth of experience coaching the offensive line and he is an outstanding teacher of the game. I know he’s excited about working with and developing our student-athletes.”
Borbely most recently served as offensive line coach under current Maryland Associate Head Coach Mike London at Virginia during the 2015 season. It marked his fifth season overall in Charlottesville as Borbely was UVA’s running game coordinator and offensive line coach from 2006-09.
During his first stint at UVA, Borbely tutored senior offensive tackle Eugene Monroe to several 2008 All-America squads, including second-team honors by the Associated Press and Walter Camp Football Foundation. Monroe also received the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given to the ACC's top blocker. In his time with the Cavaliers, Borbely also coached Branden Albert, a third-team AP All-American in 2007, as well as offensive guard Austin Pasztor in 2008 and 2009, who later was a second-team AP All-American in 2011. All three offensive linemen are now in the NFL.
In between his two stints at Virginia, Borbely was on Charlie Strong’sstaff at Louisville (2010-13) for four seasons before spending the 2014 season helping lead Colorado State-Pueblo to the NCAA DII national championship. He served as the running game coordinator and offensive line coach at both stops.
Borbely’s teams have reached 13 bowl games, including the Sugar Bowl (1986, 2013) and the Fiesta Bowl (2001). He helped Louisville earn three bowl game wins and a postseason appearance in each season (2010-13) he was there. The Cardinals captured the 2012 and 2013 BIG EAST title and won the 2013 Sugar Bowl over Florida. During Borbely's final two seasons at Louisville, the Cardinals went a combined 23-3 and were ranked amongst the nation's top 20 programs both seasons.
Borbely's wide-range of coaching experience has allowed him to develop an extensive recruiting base, including the Northeast and West Coast. He has coached for some of the top names in collegiate football including Gary Barnett, Strong, Tyrone Willingham and Phillip Fulmer.
A native of Hammond, Ind., Borbely earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from DePauw (Ind.) University and a master of arts in secondary education from the University of Evansville in 1982. At DePauw, he earned four letters in football and twice was named the team's top lineman.
