Bob Bratkowski

Robert "Bob" Bratkowski (born December 2, 1955) is an American football coach. Born in San Angelo, Texas, he is the son of former NFL quarterback Zeke Bratkowski. Bratkowski played his college football at Washington State, as a wide receiver from 1975 to 1977.

College assistant coach
Bratkowski began his coaching career in 1978 at Missouri. He became an offensive coordinator at Weber State in the Big Sky Conference under first-year head coach Mike Price in 1981. Bratkowski moved up to Division I-A in 1986 under head coach Dennis Erickson at Wyoming, and followed him to Washington State in 1987 and Miami in 1989.

NFL assistant coach
Bratkowski moved to the NFL in 1992 with the Seattle Seahawks. After three seasons under head coach Tom Flores, he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1995 by new head coach Dennis Erickson. When Erickson was fired following the 1998 season, Bratkowski became an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In 2001, Bratkowski was offered the job of offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals, a position he held for a decade until January 31, 2011, when he was terminated from the Cincinnati Bengals as reported by ESPN news. Bratkowski's offense generally suffered from being too predictable, and this led to his poor reputation amongst the fans of the team. Bratkowski's final work with the Bengals was coordinating the North squad of the 2011 Senior Bowl, but at halftime his duties were handed over to quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese. He coached the quarterbacks for the Atlanta Falcons in 2011, and became the offensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012, under first-year head coach Mike Mularkey.

Personal life
Bob and his wife, Rebecca, have two children — son Shane and daughter Courtney.
