I remember that Rosenbach coached at Eatern washington the year they came in and played at ASU...He was getting very good reviews as an offensive coach at that time.
Northern Card
All Star
After leaving AZ... and being out for awhile... he ended up with Hamilton of the CFL... and stunk the place out. He couldn't seem to understand that there's an extra DB in 12 man football, and so, it was one interception after another... Not sure if he got cut or quit... but it didn't last long.

I'll never forget it. It was in Flagstaff. Practice was indoors. He had taken every snap the year before and looked like we were going places and so was he. On a red zone play without a defense on the field his foot got caught in the artificial serface and twisted his leg tearing everything. He did not play a down that year and the third year he broke a collar bone in his 2nd or 3rd game back from being tackled. He became gun shy and left football. He stayed at his ranch in Chandler for awhile and then tried the CFL after some time. He was never the same. He did this a that till Washington called his college and asked him to coach. I loved the guy the year he played . By the way Tom Tupa played quarterback for the Cards when he got hurt and started three games scoring no touchdowns but winning two games.

Rosenbach walking tall out of pocket
December 27, 2003
Timm Rosenbach was always one to stride on the periphery of chaos, accepting life as an open, often uncontrolled entity. He knows indecision. He knows risk. He knows failure. He knows misery. He knows addiction. He knows recovery.
He knows, finally, happiness.
Washington State plays Texas in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl on Tuesday, when one of the best quarterbacks to wear a WSU uniform will again act as tutor to the program's present-day starter, Matt Kegel, the latest name wanting desperately to be included among an esteemed but select group of past Cougars.
Only four have passed for more yards in the program's history than Rosenbach, now in his first season as the school's quarterbacks coach. When assembling his staff, head coach Bill Doba sought those with an affinity for Washington State, who wanted to exist amid the small-town ambience of Pullman, who wouldn't back the moving van in one day, open the door, step into a puddle, look up at the dark skies and restart the engine.
People such as Timm Rosenbach.
"Number one, he's a good person," Doba says. "I tell everyone that if you look up the word competitor in the dictionary, his picture will be right there . . . He was always a fun-loving kid who liked to have a good time. I really admire the way he has changed his life."
It is pointless to assess a man's character by his failures. The significant issue is how he matures from them. What, if anything, does he learn?
In this respect, Rosenbach is Ph.D.-educated.
Most remember him as the one who walked away from pro football in 1992 with $1.05 million in salary remaining, disappearing from the Phoenix Cardinals at age 26 without so much as a telephone call to bid the game and organization adieu.
Players of his stature – two years earlier, Rosenbach threw for more than 3,000 yards with 16 touchdowns and ranked second in the NFL in rushing for quarterbacks behind Randall Cunningham – dream of Pro Bowls, not unemployment. But injuries such as a frightening concussion and separated shoulder soured his passion to stand behind center, and he began to despise the brutal truths (see lying on a stretcher unable to move your toes) of the game. His mind began to wonder and body wander.
"You make decisions in life and whether they're right or wrong depends on if you get anything out of them," Rosenbach says. "There was a lot of immaturity on my part in Phoenix. There are just times when you have to figure things out as you grow up. I'm thankful to be here now, to be coaching, to be in a great position, to be alive."
Our moral fiber is not grown in the midst of simplicity and calm, nor is our spirit made stronger without hardship. They called Rosenbach gutsy, ornery, combative, feisty, tough. He was a throwback on the field who often threw back one too many off it. It has been nearly six years since his last drink. He is an alcoholic who will always count the days.
Life after football was one adventure after another for a guy who says he will never be good at golf because "No one is throwing anything at you when you play." There was a rodeo phase, in which Rosenbach competed in team roping, which demands riders accomplish numerous duties in less time than it takes you to read this sentence.
There was a fishing phase, in which he ran a charter boat business out of Cabo San Lucas for two years. There was a divorce. There was even another chance at football, first for 11 games with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL and then a stop in minicamp with the New Orleans Saints. But he ruptured a disk and was done for good.
It was one morning four years ago, before sending out more customers in search of dorado and marlin, when Rosenbach looked around the tranquil village on the southernmost tip of Baja and realized he didn't want to wake up one day 50 years old and saturated in salt. So he telephoned a former college teammate and landed a coaching job at St. Ambrose University in Iowa. From there, he joined the staff at Eastern Washington. From there, he went home again.
"I tell the kids all the time that anything they are thinking about doing on or off the field, I've done three or more times," Rosenbach says. "I've been booed out of stadiums and carried out of them. They all want to be the next great one, but you have to go through hard times to get there.
"I've always had some addictive traits. I always wanted to make stuff happen. It's like big-game fishing. Hours and hours of boredom are followed by seconds of chaos. That's the part that excited me about everything. I liked fast-paced things. But now, if I wake up sober every day, that's good enough for me. I don't even like walking in tall buildings anymore."
Instead, he walks tall, a much better man for his experience.
