Before Colgate
Joe Gerbino was named as the wide recievers coach and passing game coordinator at Colgate in February of 2025. 

Gerbino heads to Hamilton after most recently serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Bethune-Cookman last season. With the Wildcats, Gerbino mentored second-team All-SWAC running back Dennis Palmer while his quarterback Cam Ranson broke the program single-season record with a 62.5% completion percentage, ending the year top-five in the conference in passing yards, passing yards per game, passing touchdowns, and efficiency rating.

Gerbino is no stranger to upstate N.Y. having spent seven seasons with Utica University serving in a variety of roles, including offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, recruiting coordinator, and associate head coach. Gerbino’s offenses broke single-game records for total yards (688) and points (76) with individuals setting new program bests for passing yards in a season (3,207), receiving yards in a season (1,391), and season-long offensive efficiency (159.1).

Gerbino also helped lead the Pioneers to their first bowl victory in school history in 2018, coordinating the program’s first-ever national playoff win in 2022 as part of Utica’s only recorded 10-win season. 

The AFCA 2023 Assistant Coach of the Year was invited to the association’s 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute in the same year after being promoted to be one of the youngest offensive coordinators in college football at 24 years old in 2017.
 

Playing Career
A native of Belleville, N.J., Gerbino was a two-time captain and Empire 8 Sportsman of the Year as a football student-athlete at Utica College.
