When former PCA football coach LeBron Ferguson announced his resignation from the school in January, speculation and rumors on who would take over the Lions became rampant.
On Thursday, all rumors were put to rest. The school announced that former MBA head coach Marty Euverard had been named as the program’s second coach in school history.
Euverard brings a plethora of experience to the position and returns to Murfreesboro to coach for the first time since 2003.
He began his head coaching career at Clarksville in 1995. In 1998 he started the first of a six-year run at Oakland going 13-2 and winning the Class 5A state championship.
In six years with the Patriots he went 50-26. Euverard would go on to coach at Jefferson County from 2004-2006 and then at BGA in 2010.
Following that 7-6 season at BGA, he was named the head coach at MBA and would go on to spend the next 14 seasons with the Big Red. MBA was the Division II-AA state championship in 2014 and would play for a state title seven times during Euverard’s tenure.
He went 121-52 at MBA, 189-113 in 26 seasons as a head coach and was inducted into the Tennessee Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2023.
Euverard takes over a PCA program coming off of its best season in its young history.
In 2025 the Lions finished 9-3 and made it to the Division II-A semifinals before losing USJ. They won their first postseason game along the way beating Friendship Christian in an instant-classic 41-40.
