Neuheisel grew up in the Phoenix area and played his college football at UCLA, beginning his career as a walk-on, holding for place kicks. He secured the starting quarterback position four games into his senior year, leading the Bruins to the Pac-10 championship in 1983 and a 45-9 victory over Illinois in the January 1984 Rose Bowl, in which he was named the most valuable player.
His professional career included two seasons with the San Antonio Gunslingers (1984-1985) of the USFL and three games with the San Diego Chargers of the NFL in the strike season of 1987. He closed out the season's final two games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but did not receive any playing time.
While attending law school at USC on an NCAA postgraduate scholarship, Neuheisel served as a graduate assistant with UCLA, where he tutored Troy Aikman. He later became a full-time assistant coach, and stayed at UCLA through the 1993 season. In 1994, he moved to Colorado as an assistant to Bill McCartney. McCartney retired following that season and Neuhesiel, age 34, became the head coach. He stayed for four seasons (1995-98), then left to coach at Washington for four seasons (1999-2002). In the 2000 season, the Huskies won the Pac-10 title and the Rose Bowl over the Purdue Boilermakers. Washington, led by quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo, the Rose Bowl MVP, finished the season at 11-1 and was ranked third in the final national polls.
Neuheisel was fired in the summer of 2003 from the University of Washington for gambling on the NCAA Basketball Tournament. He was a volunteer coach for Rainier Beach High School in Seattle for two seasons, then became an assistant coach with the NFL's Baltimore Ravens in January 2005.
