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.
Marshall had a successful collegiate career at the University of Western Ontario, and as a running back won the 1980 Hec Crighton Trophy as Canada's best collegiate player. 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.
After his playing career, Marshall moved back to Western Ontario in 1984 to join the coaching staff.
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.
