About Kerwin Bell

  • Kerwin Douglas Bell (born June 15, 1965) is an American football coach and former player who is currently the offensive coordinator for the South Florida Bulls football team.
  • Bell was born in the North Central Florida town of Live Oak and was a star high school football quarterback at Lafayette County High School in nearby Mayo, Florida.
  • Bell did not attract the attention of top college football programs while playing at the small high school, so he decided to attend the University of Florida in nearby Gainesville and join the Florida Gators football team as a walk-on. After being redshirted during his first season at the school, Bell became the Gators' starting quarterback in 1984 and remained the starter for four years.
  • He was the Southeastern Conference (SEC) player of the year in 1984 and was named to several All-SEC and All-American lists before graduating in 1987. After college, he played professionally in the National Football League (NFL), World League of American Football (WLAF) and the Canadian Football League (CFL) for fourteen seasons in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s.
  • Though he started dozens of games in the WLAF and the CFL, he never started an NFL contest and threw only five regular season passes in his NFL career.
  • However, he completed all five of those passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, leaving him with the highest career passer rating in league history, albeit in a very small sample size.After retiring as a player, Bell returned to Florida and served as the head football coach at Trinity High School in Ocala from 2001 to 2006, winning a state championship in 2005.
  • He became the head coach at NCAA Division 1 (FCS) Jacksonville University in 2007 and led the Dolphins to their first three conference championships during his nine seasons at the school.
  • Bell moved to Valdosta State University in 2016, and in 2018, he led the Blazers to their first undefeated season and the 2018 NCAA D-II national championship on the strength of the highest scoring offense in college football.In January 2019, Bell was named the offensive coordinator for the Bulls of the University of South Florida (USF).
