      Joe Matheson | Offensive Coordinator & Quarterbacks Coach, Drake University

      Joe Matheson is the Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach at Drake University and the coach behind the explosive Top Gun Offense. Before joining Drake in 2026, Matheson helped lead UW–River Falls to its first NCAA Division III National Championship, directing an offense that led all levels of college football in total offense, first downs, and total plays in 2025.

      From 2021–2025, his offense averaged more than 87 plays per game and 19.7 seconds per play, establishing the fastest tempo in NCAA football over that span. His units broke more than 30 school records, and he coached four Division III All-Americans, including Gagliardi Trophy-winning quarterback Kaleb Blaha. Matheson was named the 2025 WIAC Assistant Coach of the Year.

      Through his Top Gun Offense courses, Matheson shares practical instruction on no-huddle organization, RPOs, tempo passing concepts, the six-back offense, and offensive gadgets—giving coaches tools to stress defenses and expand their offensive attack.
