Northview Assistant Coach Headed To Tennessee
April 21, 2015
Northview High School assistant football coach Derek Marshman has announced that he’s headed to a new job in Tennessee.
Marshman has been named an assistant coach at Signal Mountain High School just outside Chattanooga. There, he will join the school’s new head coach, Ty Wise. Marshman and Wise were part of the coaching staff that led the Northview Chiefs to a state football championship in 2012. Wise departed in 2013 to take the head coaching job at Graceville.
Marshman will remain at Northview through the end of the school year before moving to Tennessee with his family, including his wife Brittany, a teacher at Byrneville Elementary School.
“It was a great opportunity for my entire family,” Marshman said Monday night. “We visited this past weekend for the first time, and it was just beautiful up there. The entire town just blew us away.”
Marshman said he will miss the Northview Chiefs, which he predicted will do great things this fall.
“There’s a really good group of juniors moving up as leaders. Northview will have a very strong team this fall.”

It was fun playing for you coach good luck up there and I would like to see greewell come out there
I wish the best to Coach Marshman. He will be missed by his players. He has done great things for the team. I would love to see Coach Greenwell from the middle school come to Northview and be a part of the Coaching staff. He is a great coach and I think he would help the program. Several of the kids at the high school level like him and were coached by him at the middle school. Lets go chiefs!!
Really gonna miss Coach Marshman and his obsessive coffee drinks. But congrats and good luck Coach Marshman!!!!
Good luck Coach it has been fun watching all the games. And I would also like to see Coach Greenwell go to Northview to coach he is a good man and would be a good replacement
Would love to see Coach Greenwell from the middle school come to Northview and take over the offense!! Just an idea!!
Good luck to Coach Marshman and his family.
I hear Tennessee has the second highest crime rate in the U.S. and anyone with allergies needs to avoid the entire state!
