Kevin Carberry enters his first season as run game coordinator/offensive line coach in 2025 after being promoted following one season as offensive line coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024.
In his first season in Tampa Bay, Carberry coached a unit that paved the way for the NFL's only offense that ranked top five in each yards per rush average (third – 5.3), passing yards per game (third – 250.4), total yards per game (third – 399.6), rushing yards per game (149.2 – fourth) and points scored per game (fourth – 29.5). Under Carberry's instruction, left tackle Tristan Wirfs collected his fourth Pro Bowl selection – the most selections by an offensive lineman in franchise history. According to Pro Football Focus, Wirfs finished first in the league with a 93.7 pass block grade and zero sacks allowed on his way to earning Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors, becoming the first player in NFL history to earn this recognition at both left tackle and right tackle. Rookie center Graham Barton finished tied for fourth among all centers in fewest sacks allowed (2.0). The Buccaneers run game finished the 2024 season setting franchise records in yards per rush (5.3), total rush yards (2,536) and rushing first downs (137).
Carberry joined the Buccaneers after spending the 2023 season with the New Orleans Saints as the team's assistant offensive line coach. The Saints, led by Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy, tied for the fifth-fewest quarterback hits allowed in the NFL in 2023 (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%). In the 2021 playoffs, the Rams averaged 388.5 yards per game on the way to their Super Bowl title.
Carberry made his NFL coaching debut as an offensive assistant with the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. That season, he assisted an offensive unit that helped propel running back DeMarco Murray to a league-leading 1,845 rushing yards, in addition to winning the NFC East division title. Following his stint in Dallas (2014-15), Carberry joined Bill Callahan in Washington, where he spent two seasons as the assistant offensive line coach. In Washington in 2016, the team limited opponents to the fourth-fewest sacks (23) and boasted the NFL's third-ranked offense that season, averaging 403.4 yards per game. Brandon Scherff and Trent Williams each earned Pro Bowl trips under Carberry's tutelage.
In the collegiate ranks, Carberry has held coaching roles at Stanford (2018-20), Stephen F. Austin (2012-13) and Kansas (2009-11). As the offensive line coach at Stanford, Carberry coached four players to All-Pac-12 honors. The Cardinal finished 9-4 in 2018, winning the Sun Bowl. During the shortened 2020 season, Stanford went 4-2, ranking third in the Pac-12 with 420.0 yards of offense per game. 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 later earned his Master's of Sport Administration degree from the University of Kansas. He and his wife, Emily, have one son, Frank, and one daughter, Elizabeth.
