Geno DeMarco is an American college football coach and former player. He is the head football coach for Geneva College, a position he has held since 1993.[1][2] He is the longest tenured football coach in Geneva's history, and presently tied with Mars Hill University football coach Tim Clifton for longest consecutive run with a single team in college football, going into his 33rd season in 2025.[3]

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.[4] 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.[5]
