Timothy F. Rattay (/rəˈteɪ/; born March 15, 1977) is the quarterbacks coach for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs football program and former professional American football quarterback who played in the National Football League and United Football League. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He played college football at Louisiana Tech.
Rattay was also a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and Las Vegas Locomotives.
Rattay's high school career began at Mesa High, in Mesa, Arizona. He did not take snaps as a sophomore or junior at Mesa High before transferring to Phoenix Christian when his father, Jim, became an assistant.
Because he was a backup, Rattay did not play until his senior year at Phoenix Christian, where he set a school record with 40 touchdown passes in 1994.
Rattay was not scouted by a major college, so he played a year at Scottsdale Community College, where he beat out five quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart to earn the starting spot the week of the season opener. He led the nation’s junior-college quarterbacks in touchdown passes (28) and yardage (3,526).
Tim Rattay then transferred to Louisiana Tech, in Ruston. There he set several NCAA records, including the NCAA Division I-A record for average passing yards per game with 386.2, and is now in second place in NCAA history with 12,643 yards of total offense. (now surpassed by Colt Brennan of Hawaii) He is also in the top 5 of every offensive category. He was in the top 10 voting for the Heisman in 1998, which is awarded to the most outstanding college football player. In 1998, he broke school records as a senior with 4,943 yards and 46 touchdowns to finish second in NCAA history in yardage.
