Co-Offensive Coordinator (Quarterbacks)

2015 will mark Sean Lewis’ second year as an assistant coach at Bowling Green, as well as his fourth season coaching under Dino Babers. Lewis will serve as Co-Offensive Coordinator and coach quarterbacks in 2015 after coaching the receivers for each of the past three seasons, including last season at BGSU.

Lewis churned out one of the most productive wide receiver units in the nation during the 2014 season, as the Falcons were one of just three schools in FBS football to have at least six receivers with 20-plus catches, four receivers over 30 catches, and three wideouts with more than 50 receptions.

The Falcons had 17 receiving touchdowns a season ago, including a team-high seven from true freshman Roger Lewis. Lewis maximized the potential of the freshman during his inaugural campaign, as he became the first freshman in school history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Roger Lewis finished the season with 73 catches for 1,093 yards. He caught two touchdowns in the Camellia Bowl win and twice caught a game-winning touchdown in the final minutes.

Lewis brings a wealth of experience to the quarterbacks and in 2015. Recruited out of Illinois High School football as a quarterback, Lewis began his playing career in 2004 under center for the Wisconsin Badgers. He would make the switch to tight end for his final three seasons.

Under Lewis in 2013, Eastern Illinois receivers Erik Lora and Adam Drake both totaled over 1,300 yards receiving and 32 combined touchdowns. Lora was recognized as the best receiver in FCS football for his efforts. Lewis also mentored current BGSU graduate assistant Jeff LePak, who was an All-America tight end for EIU during the 2013 season.

During his first season as the inside wide receivers coach, Lewis helped coach Lora to one of the best individual seasons in FCS history, earning OVC Player of the Year honors while finishing fourth in the Walter Payton Award voting. He set the FCS single season record with 136 receptions finishing with 1,664 yards. As a unit, EIU wide receivers hauled in a school record 341 passes during the year for 4,019 yards and 34 touchdowns.

Lewis began his career as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Richards High School in Oak Lawn, Ill. Lewis helped the school advance to the second round of the IHSA Class 6A state playoffs in 2009 with three All-Area players and one All-State performer. The team ranked eighth in IHSA in Class 6A in scoring offense at 34 points per game.

Lewis coached the 2010 season at Nebraska Omaha serving as the tight ends coach with that group combining for 51 catches, 879 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Lewis was a four-year member of the Wisconsin football program. He was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, earning the honor in both 2006 and 2007. Lewis earned his degree from Wisconsin in 2007. The Badgers made four straight bowl appearances during Lewis’ time on the team. Bowling Green and Wisconsin met on the gridiron in both 2005 and 2006. Lewis is married to his wife, Sarah and the couple has a dog – Champ.
