Chris Rorke begins his fourth season as the Trinity football offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, guiding one of the NESCAC's most prolific offenses. The Bantams have ranked No. 2 in the league in scoring and total offense each season since Rorke took over the offense in 2006. Trinity has scored more than 200 points in each of the last three seasons (2008, 227; 2007, 231; 2006, 206), and ranked 24th nationally in total offense last season.

In Trinity's last 12 home games, all victories, Trinity has scored more than 28 points eight times, and seven Bantam offensive players earned All-NESCAC honors last fall. The Bantams were the only team in the league to have five offensive players take player of the week honors, and quarterback Eric McGrath was named the 2008 NESCAC and the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year, and the Boston Globe New England Division II/III Gold Helmet Player of the Year.

Rorke came to Trinity after spending three seasons in the same position at Lehigh University, where he helped the Engineers win a Patriot League title in 2004 and lead the conference in scoring, total offense, and passing offense in 2004 and 2005. Two of Rorke's Lehigh quarterbacks finished ranked among the top 12 in the nation in pass efficiency. Also possessing Division III head coaching experience, Rorke coached Plymouth State University from 1999 to 2002 and guided the Panthers to a league title in 2001 and an ECAC Northeast Championship crown in 1999.

Prior to Plymouth State, Rorke was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and also the head golf coach, at Illinois Wesleyan University. That team won a pair of league titles and reached the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals in 1996. He also served as the wide receivers coach for three years and as a graduate assistant for two seasons at 1990 NCAA Division I-A National Co-Champion Georgia Tech. Rorke earned his bachelor's degree in government from Dartmouth College in 1989, where he played quarterback for the football team. Rorke is also the coordinator of Trinity's fitness center and serves a physical education instructor.
