In 2025, Lombardi worked with QB Brock Purdy and QB Mac Jones, helping both quarterbacks experience success on the field. Purdy completed 197 of his 284 passing attempts (69.4%) for 2,167 yards and 20 touchdowns with a passer rating of 100.5 in nine starts, while Jones, who started eight games in relief, completed 201 of his 289 passing attempts (69.6%) for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns with a passer rating of 97.4. Jones' 69.6% completion percentage and 97.4 passer rating both marked career highs. Under Lombardi's guidance, the duo combined for the most passing first downs (237), third-highest completion percentage (69.3%), fourth-most passing touchdowns (33), fifth-most passing yards (4,157) and sixth-highest passer rating (98.8) in the NFL.
In his role as senior offensive assistant in 2024, Lombardi helped lead a 49ers offense that featured two AP Second-Team All-Pros in FB Kyle Juszczyk and TE George Kittle. San Francisco's offense finished tied for second in yards per play (6.2), fourth in yards per game (376.3), fourth in passing yards per game (249.1) and fourth in total yards (6,397). With Lombardi's help, Kittle registered his second-consecutive and fourth overall 1,000-yard season, giving him the thirdmost 1,000-yard seasons in franchise history and making him one of five tight ends in NFL history to tally four career seasons with 1,000-or-more yards. Lombardi also helped WR Jauan Jennings register career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (975) and receiving touchdowns (six).
Lombardi joined the 49ers after spending the previous two seasons (2022-23) as the offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders. During his tenure with Las Vegas, Lombardi helped the Raiders offense average 321.0 yards per game and 19.7 points per game. In 2023, he helped WR Davante Adams register his fourth-consecutive season with at least 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards. He also guided rookie QB Aidan O'Connell to one of the best starts in Raiders franchise history, finishing his rookie season with the most games with a passer rating of 100.0-or-higher (three games) and the second-most passing yards (2,143) in his first 10 starts in franchise history.
In his first season as an offensive coordinator 2022, Lombardi led a Raiders offense that ranked 12th in the NFL in total offense (352.5 yards per game), 12th in scoring offense (23.2 points per game) and tied for 11th in passing offense (231.4 yards per game). With RB Josh Jacobs leading the NFL in rushing yards (1,653) and Adams registering 1,516 receiving yards, Lombardi's unit became just the fifth offense in NFL history, and the first since the 1999 Colts, to feature a 1,500-yard rusher and receiver in the same season. Adams, Jacobs and QB Derek Carr were all named to the 2023 Pro Bowl under Lombardi's guidance.

He served as the wide receivers coach for two seasons (2020-21) and led a unit that caught 647 of their 944 targets (68.5%), ranking 10th in the NFL in reception percentage during that span. In 2021, Lombardi helped WR Kendrick Bourne register career highs in receptions (55) and receiving yards (800) and tie his career high in touchdowns (five). In 2020, WR Julian Edelman became just the second member of the Patriots to record 600 career receptions. In 2019, Lombardi served as the assistant quarterbacks coach, helping QB Tom Brady throw for more than 4,000 yards for the 11th time in his career.
