Michael Frederik Denbrock (born January 29, 1964) is the current offensive coordinator at Cincinnati. He has previously been a coach at Notre Dame, Illinois State, Grand Valley State, Stanford, Washington and Indiana State. He also coached in the Arena Football League (AFL) with the Columbus Destroyers.
After graduating from Grand Valley State in 1985 with a degree in communications, he returned to Grand Valley as a graduate assistant where he worked with the offensive tackles and tight ends. He worked with current University of Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly, whom assisted with the defensive backs in his first season as a graduate assistant in 1987.
After two years, Denbrock moved on to Michigan State University where he helped with the quarterbacks and receivers on the 1988 Spartan squad that was selected for the Gator Bowl. The following season, he was moved to help with the offensive line as a graduate assistant on the 1989 team that played in the Aloha Bowl. His first full-time coaching assignment came in 1990-91 where he coached at Illinois State University, working with the offensive tackles and tight ends.
In 1992, he returned to Grand Valley State, serving under Brian Kelly, who was then the head coach. From 1992-1995, Denbrock was offensive coordinator, coaching the quarterbacks and wide receivers. His offense was first in the MIFC in both total yards and scoring offense from 1992-94. He moved to defensive coordinator and linebackers coach from 1996-1998, where his defense ranked among the nation's top 30 in total defense, scoring defense and rushing defense each season. In 1996, his defense led the MIFC in scoring and total defense.
