Marc Bronco Clay Mendenhall (born February 21, 1966) is the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers football team at the University of Virginia. Previously he was the head coach at Brigham Young University, where he had the second-most wins in school history and guided the Cougars to eleven straight bowl invitations, two outright conference championships and regular national Top 25 rankings.
More than 60 of Mendenhall's players have been signed to NFL contracts since 2005 including Ezekiel Ansah, the #5 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He is also known for graduating his players, and ranking his former program seventh for most Academic All-Americans during his tenure.
He won 10 or more games in five seasons at BYU, winning a total of 99 games in eleven years. He has twice inherited programs with multiple consecutive losing seasons (three at BYU and four at Virginia).
Mendenhall comes from a football family. His father played defensive end for BYU in 1953 and 1954, while Bronco himself played safety for Oregon State where he was named team captain his senior season. His brother Mat started at defensive end for the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVII.
Bronco Mendenhall graduated from American Fork High School in 1984. In 1990, he served as a graduate assistant coach at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. From 1991 to 1993, he was the defensive coordinator for Snow College, a junior college in Ephraim, Utah. From 1993 to 1994, he was the defensive coordinator for Northern Arizona University. From 1995 to 1996, he served as the defensive coordinator for Oregon State. After the 1996 season, he was fired from Oregon State. In 1997, he served as the secondary coach at Louisiana Tech. From 1998 to 2002, he was the defensive coordinator for the University of New Mexico, where he and head coach Rocky Long developed a blitz-happy 3-3-5 defensive scheme that produced NFL first-round draft pick Brian Urlacher, who played in New Mexico's "Loboback" position, a cross between a linebacker and safety.
