== History ==
=== thatfunk era (2016) ===
Current Arkansas head coach thatfunk was the first ever coach of Marshall, leading into their brief stint in the American Athletic Conference. Funk brought stability and an expertise in recruiting and led the Herd to an 11-2 record, including a bowl win over Toledo. thatfunk and Marshall parted ways after funk accepted a job at Florida.
=== onelineman era (2017-2018) ===
onelineman quickly snatched the Marshall head coaching gig and this was his first head coaching spot of his career. lineman and Marshall had one last year in the AAC, going an average 6-6 and having a recruiting cycle where they had to replace original Marshall quarterback Rob Zeko. The cycle proved mildly successful, as lineman and co. went 9-5 in Marshall's first season as a member of Conference USA's East Division. onelineman left Marshall after the 2018 season.
=== Vacancy era (2019) ===
Previous coach onelineman set up a good-but-not great team behind at Marshall, but without a head coach, the team had problems. Recruiting was mishandled and botched, games resulted in blowouts of Marshall, and it seemed as if Marshall would have a wasted season without a head coach.
=== Monda era (2019-Present) ===
By week 5 of the 2019 season, Marshall was struggling at 0-4 and without a head coach. Monda recently returned after leaving Northwestern little over a season ago, and was hired by Marshall. After an initial mess up of running a too complex wildcat offense in his first game against FIU, Monda and co. won 7 straight games advancing to 7-5 while receiving a conference championship bid and bowl opportunity.
