Team History

At Marquette, we are committed to excellence. Our young people receive an outstanding education. Furthermore, we offer highly competitive extra-curricular activities. The football program fits this exact mold.

The football tradition is a proud one at Marquette, and has been growing since 1927. Marquette Catholic football recently picked up its 400th win.  Win number 100 came under Hall of Fame Coach Joe Stephan in the 1949 season. Hall of Fame Coach John Rogers claimed win number 200 for the program with his 1972 squad. The 1986 team captured win 300 under Coach John Waters.  Coach Pagliaro claimed win number 400.

Many people have contributed to the success of Marquette Football since 1927. Remarkably, Marquette has had eleven head coaches in it's history. The following is a list of these coaches accompanied by their years of service and overall record.
