McMartin has posted a glossy 116-40 (.743) and is among the winningest active NCAA Division III coaches in career winning percentage. He's a three-time conference coach of the year (2005, 2006, 2007) and was named an AFCA Division III regional coach of the year in 2007. McMartin's squads have posted three undefeated regular seasons, with a 28-game regular-season win streak from 2006-08. The Dutch have finished in the top three in the league 14 times in 15 years under 2 Football McMartin, tying for second in 2018. McMartin has been a part of one of the nation's most tradition-rich college football programs as a player, student assis- tant and now head coach. Central's 30 league titles and the school's 20 NCAA Division III playoff berths are the third most in the nation. The Dutch have compiled 17 undefeated regular seasons and haven't had a losing football campaign since 1960. In 2015, McMartin and former University of Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez were named to the American Football Coaches Association's board of trustees. McMartin is one of just two NCAA Division III coaches on the board, which formu- lates policty for the 11,000-member organization. He's only the 11th Division III coach in AFCA history to serve on the board and follows his mentor, Central's hall of fame coach Ron Schipper, who was a trustee from 1984-94. McMartin spent six years on the AFCA's 31-member Division III head coaches council, serving as chair from 2012-14.
