Alan Anthony Borges (born October 8, 1955) is an American football coach who is the former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at San Jose State University. Borges is known for quarterback development having mentored Cade McNown and Jason Campbell, both first round NFL draft picks. Borges has been described as "one of the best offensive coordinators I've ever seen," by former Auburn head coach Pat Dye.
Borges began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Salinas High School from 1975 to 1978, followed by a stint as an assistant at Pleasant Valley High School from 1979 to 1980. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1981 from California State University, Chico. Borges began his college coaching career at California as a part-time assistant in 1982 and 1983. He then moved on to his first full-time collegiate job at Diablo Valley College from 1983 to 1985. He split time with Diablo for two years in 1984 and 1985 as a defensive assistant with the USFL's Oakland Invaders.
From 1986 to 1992 he was the offensive coordinator for Division II Portland State University where he coached three All-American quarterbacks. In 1993, he moved up to then Division I-AA Boise State University where his offense reached the Division I-AA championship game in 1994. In a single season as offensive coordinator at Oregon in 1995, his team led the Pac-10 in passing offense with 263.8 yards per game. The Ducks also averaged 406.3 yards and 29.1 points per game. His quarterback that season, Tony Graziani, led the Pac-10 in both total offense and passing.
