Geno DeMarco is an American former college football coach and player. He most recently served as the head football coach for Geneva College, a position he held from 1993 to 2025. [1] [2] DeMarco was the longest tenured football coach in Geneva's history, and became the coach with the longest consecutive run with a single team following the retirement of Mars Hill University football coach Tim Clifton at the end of the 2024 season. [3] [4]

On June 30, 2025, it was announced that DeMarco would be stepping down as head coach of the Geneva football team following the conclusion of the 2025 college football season, ending his 33-season run. [5] It was also confirmed he would remain connected to the program in an assistant or advisory role, and that the search for his successor would occur after the season. [6] DeMarco's final game as Geneva head coach was a bowl game against the SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles, the college's first since 2009; a 46-10 loss. [7]
