Tim Marcum (February 10, 1944 – December 5, 2013) was a former head coach within the Arena Football League for a majority of its existence, up until his death in 2013. Notable for his tenures with the Denver Dynamite, Detroit Drive, and Tampa Bay Storm, Marcum is, almost without question, the greatest head coach in the history of the league. Winning over two-hundred games (including postseason) and seven ArenaBowl titles in his twenty-one years as primary head coach, his resumé is the most decorated of any coach ever. If not for Darren Arbet of the San Jose SaberCats, he would also hold the record for longest-tenured head coach in AFL history, spending fifteen seasons with the Storm between 1995 and 2010. He was inducted into the Arena Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
