North Carolina A&T

North Carolina A&T head football coach Shawn Gibbs named Greg McGhee the Aggies offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on January 13, 2025. McGhee is one of the young outstanding offensive minds in Division I-FCS football. Before the age of 35, he already has his second offensive coordinator position after leading the West Liberty (WVa.) offense as coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022.  

Before coming to A&T, McGhee worked as the pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach at his alma mater, Howard University, for two seasons (2023-24). In 2023, the Bison had the second-best passing offense in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). McGhee arrived at West Liberty as a graduate assistant in 2020 before getting promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2021. A year later, he was promoted to offensive coordinator.  

During his time as a collegiate coach, McGhee worked in the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship, completing fellowships with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs. He began his coaching career in 2017, serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Baldwin High School in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa., for three seasons. 

As a player, McGhee put together one of the best collegiate careers in MEAC history. McGhee served as a four-year starter at Howard (2011-14), earning two MEAC Offensive Player of the Year awards. In 2014, he was named co-offensive player of the year, sharing the award with A&T running back great Tarik Cohen. In 2011, the MEAC announced him as their rookie of the year. 

McGhee remains second on the MEAC’s all-time list in completions (731). He is the conference’s all-time leader in passing attempts (1,296) and total offense. He holds the conference record for total offense in a single season.  In 2024, Howard University inducted McGhee into its Athletics Hall of Fame. 

Professionally, McGhee has played for the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) Montreal Alouettes, the Toronto Argonauts, and the British Columbia Lions at the quarterback position. He also played QB for the Arena Football League’s Philadelphia Soul.
McGhee graduated from Howard in 2015.
