Kevin Carberry enters his first season as offensive line coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024.
Kevin Carberry joins the Buccaneers after spending the 2023 season with the New Orleans Saints as the team's offensive line assistant. The Saints, led by Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy, tied for the fifth-fewest quarterback hits allowed in the NFL last season (76), while limiting opponents to the eighth-fewest sacks (35).
Prior to his season in New Orleans, Carberry spent two seasons as the offensive line coach for the Los Angeles Rams during which he helped guide the Rams to a Super Bowl LVI victory to cap off the 2021 season. That season, Carberry's unit limited opposing defenses to the fourth-fewest quarterback hits (74) and tied for the sixth-fewest sacks allowed (31), in addition to ranking seventh in fewest sacks allowed per pass attempt (4.9%).
Carberry made his NFL coaching debut as an offensive assistant with the Dallas Cowboys under the tutelage of Bill Callahan in 2014. In their first year together, the duo coached a unit that helped propel running back DeMarco Murray to a league-leading 1,845 rushing yards. Following his stint in Dallas (2014-15), Carberry joined Callahan in Washington, where he spent two seasons as the assistant offensive line coach.
In the collegiate ranks, Carberry has held coaching roles at Stanford (2018-20), Stephen F. Austin (2012-13) and Kansas (2009-11). He began his coaching career as a varsity assistant at his alma mater, St. Rita High School (Chicago), coaching them to an Illinois state title in 2006. He later coached two seasons at St. Ignatius College Prep (Chicago) while also playing in the AFL for the New York Dragons (2007) and Philadelphia Soul (2008), winning a 2008 Arena Bowl Championship in his lone year in Philadelphia.
Carberry competed in his first NFL training camp with the Cleveland Browns in 2005 before spending the season on the Detroit Lions practice squad. He later spent the 2006 training camp with the Carolina Panthers prior to landing with the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe in the spring of 2006.
Carberry is a native of Oak Lawn, Illinois, and was a four-year player at Ohio University (2002-05), earning All-MAC honors as a senior. He and his wife, Emily, have one son, Frank, and one daughter, Elizabeth.
