Tim Morrison will enter his second season with Peacock football in 2022. After serving as an assistant coach and working with the offensive line in 2021, Morrison was promoted prior to the spring season to offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He will continue to work with the offensive line as well.
  
Morrison came to Upper Iowa having most recently served as an assistant coach with the Wartburg College football program. Prior to his short run in Waverly, he was an assistant coach working with the offensive line and tight ends at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich. for ten years.
 
The Lakers went 95-28 over his ten years as a coach at GVSU earning a pair of Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) championships, and five NCAA Division II Playoff appearances. Under Morrison, 21 offensive lineman earned All-GLIAC honors, eight earned All-America recognition and three were selected as the GLIAC Offensive Lineman of the Year.
 
Morrison served as the GVSU offensive coordinator for five seasons as well leading the Lakers to the NCAA DII semifinals in 2013 and 2015, while coaching the 2013 Rimington Trophy winner, Matt Armstrong. The award is bestowed upon the best center in all of NCAA Division II.

Before landing in Michigan, Morrison coached at his alma mater, Wartburg, for nine seasons from 2001-10, spending his first year as the defensive line coach prior to eight at the helm of the offensive line, and two as the offensive line coordinator in 2008 and 2009. During his nine seasons in Waverly, the Knights captured four IIAC titles and four NCAA Playoff appearances. In addition, 11 Knights received All-IIAC honors as offensive lineman along with four All-Region honorees.

After graduation from Wartburg in 1999 with a degree in education, Morrison began his coaching career at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa. In his first position, Morrison spent time with the running backs, special teams, and inside/outside linebackers for two seasons.
