Douglas Graber (born September 26, 1944) is a former American football coach. He served as the head football coach at Montana State University in 1982, and at Rutgers University from 1990 to 1995, compiling a career college football record of 35–41–1.

Coaching career[]
Montana State University[]
Graber got his first collegiate head coaching job on December 16, 1981, when he was hired by Montana State University.[1] During his only season in Bozeman, he led the Bobcats to a 6–5 overall record and a tie for the first place in the Big Sky Conference with a 5–2 league record.[2][3] He left the school in February 1983 to become an assistant coach with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League.[4]
National Football League[]
Graber was a member of the Chiefs' staff for four seasons, working for head coach John Mackovic. He handled defensive quality control duties during his first year, while also helping defensive coordinator Bud Carson coach the defensive backs. In August 1984, Carson resigned and Graber took over coaching the secondary.[5]
Frankfurt Galaxy[]
After a five-year hiatus from coaching, Graber was hired as the head coach of NFL Europe's Frankfurt Galaxy on September 18, 2000.[6] He became the fourth coach in team history, succeeding Jack Elway (1991–1992), Ernie Stautner (1995–1997) and Dick Curl (1998–2000). In his first year at the helm, the Galaxy finished sixth in the league with a record of 3–7.
