Gregg Brandon (born February 29, 1956) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at the Colorado School of Mines. Previous to that, he was the offensive coordinator at New Mexico State University and coached tight ends in the UFL for the Las Vegas Locomotives. He also spent two years as the offensive coordinator at the University of Wyoming and was offensive coordinator for the Virginia Cavaliers for the duration of the 2009 season. He was head coach for the Bowling Green Falcons, but was fired following the conclusion of the 2008 season, after six years at the helm, which included three bowl appearances and shares of two division titles. Brandon had previously been an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Bowling Green under head coach Urban Meyer before Meyer left for the University of Utah in 2003.
Brandon played football at Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He went on to compete at the collegiate level as both a defensive back and wide receiver at Colorado Mesa University (1974) and University of Northern Colorado (1975–1977). He graduated from Northern Colorado in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in education.
Brandon began his coaching career as head football coach at Ellicott (Colo.) High School. He spent three seasons there (1978–1980) before joining the college ranks at Weber State University, under Mike Price, where he coached the next six seasons (1981–1986). He coached the tight ends and special teams in his first four seasons, the linebackers in his fifth year and the receivers and tight ends during his final year in Ogden.
