In 2008, the Detroit Lions of the National Football League hired Loeffler to be a part of their offensive staff.
However, after only one season out of the college ranks, Loeffler was hired by Urban Meyer to join his staff at Florida.
Sophomore quarterback Chris Coyer was named the bowl's MVP and finished the season with a 177.4 passer rating.
Shortly after being hired, Malzahn announced that all assistant coaches were being released, thus ending Loeffler's career at Auburn University.
Loeffler was taking over a Falcon program riddled by APR and off-field issues, as well as a team that in the last regime fell apart under Mike Jinks.
The 2022 season started off tough, with an FCS loss to EKU in 7 overtimes, followed by a homecoming win over Marshall who had just beaten 8th-ranked Notre Dame the week before.
The Falcons started off MAC play 1–1, suffering a blowout loss to Buffalo but then won their next 3 conference games.
It received an invitation to play New Mexico State in the 2022 Quick Lane Bowl, losing by a 24–19 score.
Loeffler has a son, Luke, from his first marriage and two children, Alexis and Mary Elizabeth, with his current wife, Amie.
