Gary Tranquill (born April 13, 1940) is a retired American football coach and former player. He was last the offensive coordinator at Boston College, a position he held until 2010. From 1982 to 1986, Tranquill served as the head football coach at the United States Naval Academy, compiling a record of 20–34–1.
Tranquill played college football for four years (1958–1961) as a quarterback at Wittenberg University under head coach and future College Football Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Edwards. Tranquill also lettered in baseball and was inducted into the Wittenberg University Athletics Hall of Honor in 1986.
Tranquill was the 32nd head coach for the United States Naval Academy Midshipmen located in Annapolis, Maryland and he held that position for five seasons, from 1982 until 1986. His coaching record at United States Naval Academy was 20 wins, 34 losses, and 1 tie.
Tranquill then joined the staff of George Welsh, who had preceded him as Navy's head coach, at Virginia. As quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, Tranquill coached Cavalier standouts Scott Secules, Shawn Moore, and Matt Blundin. After the 1990 season in which Virginia attained a #1 ranking behind a potent offense, Tranquill became the quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns from 1991 to 1993. He later returned to the college ranks at Virginia Tech, Michigan State, a second stint at Virginia, and finally at North Carolina before his retirement.
