Joseph Philip Lombardi (born June 6, 1971) is an American football coach and former college player who is the quarterbacks coach for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He was fired by the Detroit Lions on October 26, 2015.
A 1994 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, Lombardi played tight end for the Falcons under head coach Fisher DeBerry. He lettered three seasons and started as a senior; he also lettered a season in lacrosse. He served two years on active duty in the Air Force, during which he was a volunteer coach at Dayton.
Prior to coaching in the NFL, Lombardi coached at the college level at Mercyhurst College, Bucknell University, the Virginia Military Institute, and the University of Dayton. He coached for the New York/New Jersey Hitmen during the one year of the XFL.
Lombardi was a defensive assistant for the Atlanta Falcons in 2006 under head coach Jim Mora.
Lombardi joined the Saints as an offensive assistant in 2007, and became the quarterbacks coach before the Saints' Super Bowl winning season of 2009. During his time in New Orleans, starting quarterback Drew Brees set numerous passing records, including passing for more than 5,000 yards five times (four times with Lombardi as quarterbacks coach), and setting the record (now surpassed) for the most passing yards in a single season (5,476 in 2011).
