Tim Lappano is an American football coach, currently the wide receivers coach at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He has coached a variety of positions at both the collegiate and professional levels, most recently coaching Brandon Pettigrew as the tight ends coach and Calvin Johnson as the wide receivers coach of the Detroit Lions through the 2013 season.
From Spokane, Washington, Lappano played high school football at Gonzaga Prep and graduated in 1975. He set numerous records as a Bullpup and the school retired his number 32.
A running back, he played college football for the Idaho Vandals of the Big Sky Conference from 1975 through 1979, and set a league record for freshman, averaging over eight yards per carry. A hamstring injury in prior to his junior year hampered his output in 1977 and he was redshirted under new head coach Jerry Davitch in 1978. Recurring headaches in 1979 limited his playing time as a senior. Lappano graduated from the University of Idaho in Moscow in 1983.
