Now in his fourth year at Central, McMartin was the conference coach of the year in 2005 and 2006 and has compiled a 25-7 (.781) record, including a 10-0 regular-season mark in 2006 and a 19-1 regular-season record over the past two seasons. McMartin, who also serves as the team’s quarterbacks coach, has been a part of one of the nation’s most tradition-rich college football programs as a player and student assistant and now head coach. The 2006 league title was Central’s 28th and the school’s 18 NCAA Division III playoff berths match the most in the nation. Central hasn’t had a losing football sea- son since 1960. 2 Football Named as one of 10 “hot” coaches and “primed for success” in the NCAA Division III by American Football Monthly in 2005, McMartin also gained extensive coaching experience at other schools for 13 years, coaching nearly every position. Prior to returning to Central, McMartin was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at DePauw University (Ind.). During his four years there, DePauw broke several school offensive records. From 1995-2000, he served as offensive line coach at Beloit College (Wis.) where he also worked with special teams. From 1994-95 he was the defensive line coach at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) and was defensive line coach at Illinois Wesleyan University from 1992-94. He was a graduate assistant at Wake Forest from 1990-92. McMartin graduated from Central in 1990 with a bachelor’s of arts degree in physical education. He earned his mas- ter’s degree in liberal studies from Wake Forest University (N.C.) in 1992. While at Central, McMartin served as a student coach under hall of fame coach Ron Schipper for two seasons after a career-ending injury. He was also a student coach at Oskaloosa High School in 1987. McMartin is also a veteran track and field coach. He was head men’s and women’s coach at Beloit from 1995-2000 and interim head coach at Illinois Wesleyan in 1994. McMartin was also an assistant at DePauw from 2000-03, at Rochester from 1994-95 and at Illinois Wesleyan in 1994. McMartin’s wife Laurie is also a 1990 graduate of Central and they have two children. “Jeff McMartin strikes me as exactly what our football program needs now and possibly for the next 40 or so years,” said Central president David Roe at the time of McMartin’s hiring in 2004. “Not only does he bring a passion for winning football and in-depth knowledge and experience with all aspects of the game, but he is dedicated to helping students build dreams and become successful in life.
