Tim Drevno is in his third season as Michigan's Sanford Robertson Offensive Coordinator and offensive line coach following one season at the University of Southern California, where he served as the Trojans' running game coordinator and offensive line coach.
In 2016, Drevno helped guide Michigan's offense to the fifth-highest single-season point total in program history (524 points), trailing only the Point-a-Minute Teams of 1901-04. Ten of 11 offensive starters earned some form of all-conference recognition, and U-M led the Big Ten in scoring (40.3 points per game) for the second straight season, ranking 11th in the NCAA. Michigan won the possession battle in 11 of 13 games. In all, the unit paced the Big Ten Conference in scoring offense, red zone offense, turnovers lost, interceptions and fourth-down conversions. Efficiency and balance continue to be U-M's calling cards offensively, as the unit averaged over 210 yards on the ground and through the air and converted on 62-of-68 red zone opportunities (44 touchdowns, 18 field goals). Michigan outscored teams 293-80 in the first half, including a 118-45 margin in the first quarter. The team had a four-game streak in which it scored at least 45 points, the first such stretch since 1947. Overall, the team scored 40 points or more seven times, including four times in Big Ten play. Drevno's offense produced the second straight season of first team All-America honors for tight end Jake Butt, who also earned the John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end. He helped Butt close his career as U-M's all-time leader in receptions (138) and yards (1,646) among tight ends. Working in the trenches, Drevno helped four running backs to gain 400 yards or more rushing, while 21 different players carried the ball during the season. A senior-laden offensive line produced an average of nearly 5.0 yards per carry (4.8), allowing fewer than two sacks per game as the ball was spread to 22 different pass-catchers and eight different touchdown receivers. First-year starting quarterback Wilton Speight began his career 9-0 as starter, engineering 13 touchdown drives of 80 yards or more during the 2016 season. His first season at the helm of the Michigan offense saw Butt earn his first first-team All-America honor, and collect his first Big Ten Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year Award, which he'd repeat in 2016. Quarterback Jake Rudock became the second quarterback in school history to pass for 3,000 yards (3,017) and Butt, Jehu Chesson and Amara Darboh became the first trio of receivers in school history to eclipse the 50-reception and 500-yard receiving mark in a season. The 2015 Wolverines finished the season ninth in college football in time of possession (33:27 avg.) and won the time of possession battle in 10 of 13 games. Michigan ranked in the top 25 of five offensive categories in 2015: red zone offense (7th), third down conversions (17th), fumbles lost (21st), tackles for loss allowed (24th) and turnovers lost (25th). The offense converted 52-56 red zone chances (93%) with a pair of kneel downs to finish games counted in that total, scoring 37 touchdowns and 15 field goals. The Wolverines converted 46 percent of their third-down chances (86-of-186) and moved the chains on 6-of-16 fourth-down opportunities. Michigan surpassed 2,000 rushing yards in 2015, gaining 2,057 yards on 203 carries (4.2 avg.) with 27 touchdowns. The offense produced 200-yard rushing efforts in five games during the year, led by 254-yard outputs against UNLV and BYU and nine different Wolverines scored rushing touchdowns, led by tailback De'Veon Smith (6) and fullback Sione Houma (5). Under Drevno's guidance with the Trojans in 2014, Max Tuerk anchored USC's offensive line and was one of five Trojans to earn All-Pac 12 first team honors. Drevno and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh have a long history coaching together, working at three different stops for a total of 11 years prior to this recent appointment at Michigan.
Drevno was the offensive line coach under Harbaugh for the San Francisco 49ers during the 2011-13 seasons. The 49ers won the NFC West two seasons, played in the NFC Championship Game each of those three seasons and participated in Super Bowl XLVII. Drevno coached a pair of Pro Bowl players in 2013 -- Joe Staley and Mike Iupati -- and all five of his offensive linemen were selected to the Pro Bowl in 2012. Prior to his appointment with the 49ers, Drevno worked with Harbaugh at Stanford University (2007-10).
At Stanford, Drevno coached the tight ends for the first two seasons and moved over to mentor the offensive line during their final two seasons. The offensive line was second in the nation in fewest sacks allowed in back-to-back seasons and helped pave the way for a ground game that set the school rushing yardage mark in 2009. Center Chase Beeler earned first team All-America honors in 2010. Drevno served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of San Diego (2003-06), starting a relationship with Harbaugh. The Toreros won the Pioneer League title in consecutive seasons (2005-06) and were selected the NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major national champions both years. The offense led the nation in total offense twice and finished third and ninth during his other two seasons directing the offense. He began his coaching career as graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Cal State Fullerton, during the 1991 and 1992 seasons. Coaching throughout his career on the West Coast, Drevno held assistant coaching positions at Idaho (2000-02), San Jose State (1999), UNLV (1998) and Montana State (1993-97). While coaching the offensive line at Idaho, the offense ranked sixth in the nation in 2001 and eighth in 2000. He mentored NFL players Jake Scott, Rick Demulling and Patrick Venzke. Drevno played two seasons along the offensive line at El Camino Junior College (1987-88), helping the Warriors to a national championship in 1987, and he earned All-Mission League honors in 1988. He transferred to Cal State Fullerton and started along the offensive line for two seasons (1989-90).
Drevno earned his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Cal State Fullerton in 1992. He graduated from South Torrance High School, earning all-league honors as an offensive lineman. Drevno and his wife, Shannon, have two daughters, McKenna and Baylee, and a son, Zachary.
