Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, having never played professionally or been a head coach in an NFL game. Was an offensive line coach in the NFL for 7 years, but can only find transactional coverage like being hired by the Jets and or being hired by the Packers, not enough to pass WP:GNG.

Delete no indepth coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. With a coaching history of 40 years, I thought I would be able to find something on him. But I wasn't able to find anything above transactional news pieces. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:21, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Like Gonzo, I expected to find significant coverage for a coach with such a long history, but I came up empty too. This may be partly due to the fact that "Steve Marshall" is a common name, and sorting through the chaff is not an easy task. If others are able to find significant coverage, I'm willing to reconsider. Cbl62 (talk) 18:49, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete fails WP:GNG, per Gonzo and Cbl62. Much as I hate to vote delete on a guy who was an OC at two different Power 5 schools, the sources just aren't there right now. I'd be willing to change my mind if additional sources could be produced. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
