Boras played center from 1988 to 1991 for Division III DePauw University. After his playing career ended, Boras stayed at his alma mater, joining the coaching staff as the offensive line coach.[1] He then moved on to the University of Texas where he served in various coaching positions over four years with the Texas Longhorns football team. After further stints at Benedictine University and UNLV, Boras became the tight ends coach for the Chicago Bears in February 2004.[2] Boras was relieved of his duties with the Chicago Bears in January 2010 along with five other offensive coaches.[3]

In February 2010, Boras was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars to succeed newly hired Chicago Bears' offensive line coach Mike Tice as tight ends coach.[4]

On December 7, 2015, Boras was promoted to offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams following the firing of Frank Cignetti Jr.[5] On February 25, 2016, Rob Boras was named permanent offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams.
