Greg Marshall Biography
| Birthday | Apr 19 |
| Birth Year | 1959 |
Greg Marshall is one of the most popular and richest Canadian Football Player who was born on April 19, 1959 in Guelph, Guelph, Canada. Greg Marshall (born April 19, 1959) is a former Canadian football running back and current head coach for the University of Western Ontario’s football team, the Western Mustangs. Marshall was the head coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League from 2004 to 2006. Prior to his time with the Tiger-Cats, Marshall was the head coach of McMaster University’s football team.
In 2000, McMaster won their first Yates Cup but were defeated by the University of Ottawa in the chase for the Vanier Cup. Marshall was named the CIS Coach of the Year, becoming only the second person ever to be named both the top player and the top coach in Canadian university football. From 2000 to 2003, Marshall led McMaster to a record-tying four consecutive Yates Cup championships, but never once captured the Vanier Cup as Canadian university football’s top team.
2005 was a regression for the Tiger-Cats, as they finished last in the league at 5–13. Thanks to mediocre performances from a succession of quarterbacks that included Danny McManus, Khari Jones, Marcus Brady, and Kevin Eakin, the Tiger-Cats were forced to trade for Edmonton quarterback Jason Maas in the off-season. However, with the arrival of Maas and the emergence of young running back Jesse Lumsden as a legitimate threat late in the season, expectations were higher on Marshall and the Tiger-Cats for the 2006 season.
In August 2006, Marshall returned to Western Ontario as offensive co- ordinator, which generated a large amount of coverage due to his prominence as a CFL coach. After the retirement of longtime Western coach Larry Haylor, Marshall became head coach of the program in 2007.
After his playing career, Marshall moved back to Western Ontario in 1984 to join the coaching staff.

Following his time in university, Marshall moved to the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos. Marshall played three years, from 1982 to 1984, in the CFL with the Eskimos, winning a Grey Cup in the 70th incarnation of the Canadian football championship game. Marshall’s Eskimos defeated the Toronto Argonauts 32–16, the last of Edmonton’s legendary five Grey Cups in a row.
Marshall coached at Western from 1984 to 1996, becoming the school’s offensive coordinator in 1992 and helping the team win two Vanier Cups. In 1997, Marshall was lured to McMaster University and became the school’s head coach.
Marshall joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to start the 2004 CFL season, replacing the legendary Ron Lancaster as head coach. The Tiger-Cats had finished with only a single win in 2003, and expectations on Marshall were not high. He was both the Tiger-Cats’ first Canadian-born head coach and the first CIS coach to be named directly to a head coaching position in the CFL.
