Early life and playing career

Shurmur was born in Dearborn, Michigan, and he came from a football background. Fritz Shurmur, his uncle, was a football coach for 24 years, including a stint as the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator from 1994 to 1998, which included a triumph in Super Bowl XXXI.

Shurmur, a four-year letterman for the Michigan State Spartans football team after graduating from Divine Child High School, attended Michigan State University. He appeared as a guard and linebacker during his freshman year and then spent three seasons at center. In 1987, his senior year, he received All-Big Ten Conference awards and then received honorable mention All-America awards. In his senior year, he was co-captain as the Spartans defeated the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl. Shurmur was the first graduate student to play on the Michigan State football team while working towards his master's degree in financial administration during his senior year.

Coaching career

He has been a member of eight playoff teams, winning six division titles, and playing in the Super Bowl, among other things during Shurmur's NFL coaching career.

Shurmur began coaching with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, serving as both the tight ends coach and the offensive line coach. Shurmur converted tight end Chad Lewis into a three-time Pro Bowl pick.

Shurmur was named team's quarterback coach in 2002. Shumur made Donovan McNabb into the Eagles' most prolific passer. McNabb holds nearly every Eagles career record, and he set Eagles single-season records with 345 completions and 3,916 yards in 2008. Shurmur and McNabb helped the Eagles win their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1980 season.

Shurmur was hired by Steve Spagnuolo to be the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams on January 21, 2009.

Following a 1–15 season in 2009, the Rams' second-biggest comeback in the league in 2010. In virtually every area, including total yards, time of possession, and third-down percentage, St. Louis' offense saw increases in nearly every category, including total yards, time of possession, and third-down percentage, though the team also gained 114 more points than the previous year. In addition,, the Rams made just 21 turnovers in 2010, the fifth-lowest total in the NFL.

Shurmur also had a direct effect on Sam Bradford's overnight success as a rookie in 2010. The first-overall pick out of the University of Oklahoma set NFL rookie records for the most consecutive passes without an interception (169) and the most completions (354). Bradford finished the season with a 60.0 completion percentage, 3,512 yards, and 18 touchdown passes under Shurmur's tutelage, winning the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Shurmur was recruited by the Cleveland Browns on January 7, 2011 to be their head coach. Shurmur was hired by Mike Holmgren, who also shares agent Bob LaMonte, to become the Cleveland Browns' next head coach on January 13, 2011. He was the franchise's 13th head coach in franchise history and the sixth since the franchise's revival in 1999.

Shurmur was hired because of the team's request that Holmgren do in Green Bay and Seattle, as well as in Green Bay and Seattle. Shurmur's experience with young quarterbacks such as McNabb and Bradford was another factor in the recruit's hiring. In Colt McCoy's first season with Shurmur as his head coach, the Browns selected quarterback in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft, delivering 2,733 yards and 14 touchdown passes in 13 games. Despite this, the Browns went 4–12 this season, a downturn from the previous years' 5–11 campaign. Brandon Weeden, the Browns' new starter and first round draft pick, who finished 29th out of 32 qualified starters in passer ratings, showed no improvement in the 2012 season.

Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert, Jr. were fired following a 9–23 record over the 2011 and 2012 seasons and finishing 25th in the NFL in offensive yards gained in the 2012 season.

Shurmur accepted a job with the Philadelphia Eagles as their offensive coordinator on January 20, 2013. Shurmur, along with new head coach Chip Kelly, aided in orchestrating one of the NFL's most effective offenses. Shurmur led an offense that set many career records, including points (442), total net yards (6,676), passing yards (4,406), and fewest turnovers (19) en route to a NFC East championship. In addition,, the Eagles posted a record of 99 plays of 20+ yards and became the first team since the 1991 Buffalo Bills to lead the league in passing while ranking last in time of possession.

Shurmur's ability to attract young talent at the quarterback position was on display once more in 2013. Nick Foles, the second-year QB, had a breakout season under Shurmur's direction, throwing for 27 touchdowns and only two interceptions in a third-best QB rating (119.2) and third-lowest interception percentage (0.6 percent) in NFL history. Foles also became the seventh player in league history to throw for seven touchdowns in a game against the Oakland Raiders, and one of three other teams to do so without throwing an interception.

Since Kelly was fired on December 29, 2015, Shurmur was named interim head coach of the Eagles. Shurmur's one game over the Giants was a 35-30 victory, effectively ending the NFC East's second place. In his first carry under Shurmur, the Eagles offense had 435 yards of total offense and scored four touchdowns, led by DeMarco Murray's running for a 54-yard touchdown. Shurmur was interviewed for the Eagles' head coaching role and was considered one of the top candidates until the time, but Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson lost out to Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson.

Shurmur was the Minnesota Vikings' new tight ends coach on January 25, 2016. Following Norv Turner's departure, the Vikings promoted him to interim offensive coordinator on November 2, 2016. He was named for the position in 2017 after the 2017 season. After being ranked ninth overall in 2016, the Vikings finished the season 11th highest scoring offense. After taking over for Sam Bradford, who sustained a knee injury in Week 1, second-string quarterback Case Keenum had the best season of his five-year NFL career. Shurmur was named NFL Assistant Coach of the Year for the 2017 season.

Shurmur was hired by the New York Giants as their head coach on January 22, 2018 to replace Ben McAdoo, who was fired.

Shurmur led the team to a 5–11 record in his first season as head coach.

The team selected quarterback Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft following the season. Shurmur made Jones the starter on September 17, 2019, after starting the 2019 season 0–2. Shurmur was fired by the Giants on December 30, after the team finished the season 4–12 and missed the playoffs.

Shurmur was hired by the Denver Broncos as their offensive coordinator on January 14, 2020, replacing Rich Scangarello.

Shurmur's offensive game plan made Broncos history on week 16 of the 2021 NFL season by defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, who had 40 offensive plays, eight first downs, and 158 yards of total offense. This is the second time the Broncos had a true quarterback play in a game in which the Broncos had a true quarterback in the last 29 years. The run offense only passed for 18 yards on 16 attempts, tied for the third-fewest in franchise history.

Vic Fangio, Shurmur and Broncos head coach, was fired on January 9, 2022.
