Coaches leading the Tribe...
Offensive Coordinator Kevin Rogers
Kevin Rogers enters his second season as the Tribe’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Rogers, who played linebacker at W&M from 1971-73 and was the Tribe’s running backs coach from 1980-82, returned to Williamsburg in the spring of 2013 with impressive credentials that included nearly 30 years as a Division I coach and five seasons in the NFL as the Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach.
“Kevin brings a great deal of valuable experience to our staff,” stated Laycock at the time of his hiring. “He has a proven track record of success in developing talent and has experienced the game at its highest levels. I am excited to have him back in Williamsburg and think he will prove to be a tremendous asset to our program.”
Rogers joined the Tribe staff after serving as Temple’s associate head coach and quarterback coach in 2012 and as Boston College’s offensive coordinator in 2011.
Prior to returning to the collegiate ranks, Rogers spent five seasons in the NFL as the Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach. During his tenure with the Vikings, he helped veteran quarterback Brett Favre post one of the best statistical seasons of his career during the 2009 campaign. That season, Minnesota advanced to the NFC Championship game.
Before joining the Vikings, Rogers was Virginia Tech’s quarterbacks coach from 2002-05 and helped Bryan Randall and Marcus Vick establish themselves as two of the most prolific signal callers in school history. Under Rogers’ tutelage, Randall earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year honors in 2004 as the Hokies made a Sugar Bowl appearance. During the following season, Vick led the league in passing efficiency and VT posted the ACC’s top scoring offense (33.8). During Rogers’ tenure in Blacksburg, Virginia Tech recorded a 39-14 record, won the ACC title in 2004 and played in the first ACC Championship Game in 2005.
Prior to his successful stint at Virginia Tech, Rogers worked as Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 1999-01. In addition to helping the Irish post a 9-3 record and make a Fiesta Bowl appearance in 2000, Rogers helped quarterback Jarious Jackson set ND’s single-season passing yardage record in 1999 and establish school marks for attempts and completions.
Rogers coached at Syracuse from 1991-98 and helped the Orange achieve tremendous success during his tenure, as the squad registered a 68-26-1 record and six bowl appearances – including two trips to the Fiesta Bowl and one to the Orange Bowl. In addition to coaching the quarterbacks during his entire time at Syracuse, he served as the team’s recruiting coordinator from 1993-94 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. SU became the first team in Big East history to win three consecutive league championships during his tenure, and he was instrumental in the success of Donovan McNabb, who set the majority of Syracuse’s passing records and was drafted No. 2 overall by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rogers worked on Navy’s staff as an assistant from 1983-90 and coached future NFL standout Napolean McCallum. His first college coaching position came at W&M when he served as Laycock’s running backs coach from 1980-82. Prior to joining the Tribe’s staff, he worked as a graduate assistant at Ohio State under the legendary head coach Woody Hayes in 1977-78.
Rogers is a 1974 graduate of William & Mary, where he also played linebacker. He received his master's degree in physical education from Ohio State in 1978.
Rogers and his wife, Betty, have three children — Kevin, Jr., a former quarterback at Villanova and now the Director of Pro Scouting for the Indianapolis Colts; Megan, a Notre Dame graduate; and Ryan, a 2005 Notre Dame graduate, is an associate professor at Marist College — and three grandchildren, Grady, Lucille and Nolan.
Rogers is responsible for recruiting on the Virginia Peninsula, as well as in Delaware, New Jersey and New York.

Defensive Coordinator Trevor Andrews...
After establishing himself as one of the most accomplished defensive line coaches in the FCS ranks, Trevor Andrews was promoted to the Tribe’s defensive coordinator in the spring of 2014. With the transition, he is now responsible for the team’s linebacker position after having overseen the defensive line for the past 10 years.
A 13-year veteran on W&M’s staff, Andrews was promoted to the team’s associate head coach prior to the 2013 season and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator for the previous 10 seasons. During his tenure, he has consistently developed elite players and helped the Tribe field some of its best defensive units in school history.
“Trevor has been outstanding in serving in a wide variety of roles since joining our staff,” Laycock said at the time of Andrew’s promotion. “The move into the coordinator position is the natural next step for his career, and he has learned under some outstanding coaches in his time on campus. I think he will draw from those experiences and be an outstanding leader for our defense.”
Highlighting the list of players Andrews has mentored along the defensive line is a pair of 2010 NFL Draft picks - defensive end Adrian Tracy (New York Giants, sixth round) and tackle Sean Lissemore (Dallas Cowboys, seventh round). Both players garnered multiple All-America honors during their careers and joined former Tribe standout Adam O'Connor as players who have earned national distinction under Andrews' tutelage. Like Tracy and Lissemore, O'Connor signed an NFL contract when he inked a free agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings in the summer of 2007. Andrews also helped develop two-time all-conference standout Marcus Hyde, who signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins in 2012.
Additionally, Andrews has mentored seven Tribe standouts to nine all-conference honors during the last six seasons, as All-American defensive end Mike Reilly added his name to the distinguished list last season.
Some of the Tribe’s best-ever defensive units have come during Andrew’s tenure as an assistant, as W&M ranked second nationally in scoring defense in 2009 and 2013 and sixth in 2010.
Prior to assuming his responsibilities as the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator, Andrews worked as a defensive assistant for three seasons. Andrews assisted with the Tribe cornerbacks in 2003 and helped groom first-team all-league selection Billy Parker, who signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers upon graduation.
Andrews came to the College after spending the 2000 season as an assistant at Randolph-Macon College, where he worked as the secondary coach and special teams coordinator.
As a three-year letterwinner at defensive back for the University of Dayton, Andrews was a member of three conference championship teams with the Flyers and played on Dayton's undefeated 1996 squad (11-0).
After earning his B.S. in physical education from Dayton in 1998, Andrews accepted a graduate position at Illinois Wesleyan University and coached the secondary while working towards his graduate degree in athletic administration.
Andrews and his wife, Danielle, reside in Williamsburg with their 2-year-old son, James, and their daughter, Sophia, who was born last September.
Andrews serves as W&M’s chief recruiter in South Richmond, Central and Eastern New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
