Douglas Franklin Martin (born February 4, 1963) is an American football coach and former quarterback. He is the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for the Memphis Showboats of the United Football League (UFL). He was the head football coach for Kent State University from 2004 to 2010 and New Mexico State University from 2013 to 2021. He played college football at Kentucky for coach Fran Curci and Jerry Claiborne from 1981 to 1984.
In 1992, Martin became an assistant coach at East Carolina University. He coached the Pirates tight ends and special teams his first two years and then took over the wide receivers. In 1996, he was promoted to offensive coordinator, a position he held until 2002.
In 2004, Martin succeeded Dean Pees as head coach of the Kent State Golden Flashes football team. In his seven seasons in Kent, Martin had an overall record of 29–53. He resigned after the 2010 season finale win against Ohio University.
Martin was announced as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the New Mexico State Aggies on March 9, 2011.
Martin was named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Boston College by head coach Frank Spaziani on December 22, 2011.[1]
In 2013, Martin was named head coach of the Aggies. In his first season, he led them to a 2-10 record, a one-game improvement from the previous year. He led them to the same record the following year. He led them to 3-9 records in 2015 and 2016. In 2017, he led them to a 6-6 record. This was the first time the Aggies were bowl eligible since 2002. The Aggies were invited to the 2017 Arizona Bowl, their first bowl game appearance since 1960. Of the 18 head coaches of the program over its history, he is only the eighth to have lasted five full seasons and the first in the 21st century. In 2017, Martin ended the 57-year bowl drought at NMSU by defeating Utah State at the Arizona Bowl. In 2021, Aggies athletic director Mario Moccia said after New Mexico State (2-10) ended its regular season by beating UMass that Martin's contract, which is set to expire after the season, would not be renewed.[2]
Martin became the Offensive Coordinator for the Memphis Showboats on January 4, 2024.[3]
