Borges is known for quarterback development[1] having mentored Cade McNown and Jason Campbell, both first round NFL draft picks.

From 1986 to 1992 he was the offensive coordinator for Division II Portland State University where he coached three All-American quarterbacks.

[2] Borges is credited with much of the success of the 2004 Auburn Tigers football team which recorded a perfect 13-0 season under his "Gulf Coast Offense" scheme.

[8] On December 24, 2008, Brady Hoke (new head coach at San Diego State) hired Borges as offensive coordinator for the Aztecs.

[9] Borges worked as the offensive coordinator at San Diego State for two years, and helped lead the team to a 9-4 record in 2010, marking the Aztec's first nine or more win season since 1977.

Robinson was injured in the third loss of the season against Nebraska, and backup quarterback Russell Bellomy performed poorly.

Borges and Michigan's offensive line were criticized, as starting tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint gained only 27 yards on 27 carries against Penn State.

The following week Michigan had an offensive breakout game against Indiana, winning 63-47, with Jeremy Gallon having a record setting day.

Backup quarterback Shane Morris played a solid game for a true freshman, but the offense still struggled to get things going.

[16] Borges’ offense finished the season ranked 129th out of 130 teams in major college football in scoring, managing just 14.2 points per game.

[17] Borges and his brother Keith, an assistant with him at California in 2001, collaborated on a book titled Coaching the West Coast Quarterback (ISBN 1-58518-341-5) as well as a series of instructional videos by the same name.
