Kurt Roper (born July 25, 1972) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of South Carolina of the SEC.
He previously served as the offensive coordinator at the University of Florida in 2014 and Duke University for six seasons prior to that. A native of Ames, Iowa, Roper earned three varsity letters as a quarterback and defensive back at Rice before graduating in 1995. He went on to earn a master's degree from the University of Tennessee in 1998. His coaching career has been much associated with that of David Cutcliffe.
Roper's coaching career started as a graduate assistant at the University of Tennessee in 1996, working on defense, especially the defensive backs, and special teams. While the Volunteers prepared for a national championship, Roper decided to follow Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe to Mississippi, where Roper would spend six years as offensive coordinator under Cutcliffe at head coach. Amongst those coached by Roper during this time was the first pick of the 2004 NFL Draft, quarterback Eli Manning. During these years Ole Miss went 44-29, including a 10-3 2003 campaign which was its best record since 1971.
