Greg Marshall became the 26th head coach in Varsity Blues football program history on January 3, 2018.
Marshall was the defensive coordinator, defensive line and linebackers coach for the Queen's Gaels from 2014-17. Prior to that he spent 20 seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL), primarily as a defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
He had two stops in Saskatchewan (1994-99 and 2011 as the head coach) and Edmonton (2000-04, 2013-14), one in Ottawa with the then Renegades (2005-06), Winnipeg (2006-08) and Hamilton (2009-10). Most notably, he appeared in back-to-back Grey Cups (2002, 2003) while with the Eskimos, winning it all the second time around. In 2003, his defensive unit led the CFL in fewest point allowed.
For 13 seasons and with three different teams, he was also the coordinator for the Canadian college draft, from which produced numerous league all-stars.
A scholarship athlete at Oregon State University, Marshall was drafted in the seventh round by Philadelphia and played two seasons in the NFL with the Eagles and the Baltimore Colts. In 1980, he returned to Canada to play with the Ottawa Rough Riders. He spent nine seasons with the Riders, earning the CFL's defensive player of the year honours in 1983 and the league's most outstanding defensive lineman in 1983 and 1984. He was inducted into Ottawa's Wall of Honour in June of 2023.
