Trent Farris Dilfer (born March 13, 1972) is an American football coach and former player who is the head football coach at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Dilfer played as a quarterback for 14 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He achieved his greatest professional success as the starting quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2000.
Dilfer played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs, winning the Sammy Baugh Trophy as a junior. He was selected sixth overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1994 NFL Draft. He spent his first six seasons with Tampa Bay, earning Pro Bowl honors in 1997, but was released due to inconsistent play. Dilfer signed with the Ravens in 2000 as a backup before becoming the team's starter midway through the year, which concluded with the franchise's first Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XXXV. Despite the championship, Dilfer was not re-signed by the Ravens, becoming the first starting quarterback to be released after a Super Bowl win. His next four seasons were spent primarily as a backup with the Seattle Seahawks and he had short stints with the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers before retiring in 2008.
Shortly after announcing his retirement, Dilfer was hired by ESPN as an NFL analyst, a position he held until 2017.[2] He is also the head coach of the quarterback camp Elite 11.[3] Dilfer became the head football coach at UAB in 2023.[4]
