Coach Andrew McGaughy is in his second year on staff at Siena Heights University, returning to his alma mater where he was a standout linebacker and two-time All-Conference performer (2021, 2022). During his playing career with the Saints, McGaughy was part of five nationally ranked defenses and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Performance.

 

Following graduation, he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Siena Heights before moving to Northwood University in 2023. At Northwood, McGaughy served as the Outside Linebackers Coach and Head Strength Coach for men’s basketball, men’s soccer, and men’s lacrosse. He was a part of a staff that helped the Timberwolves match their previous three years of wins in a single season.

 

In the winter 2023, McGaughy joined Adrian College as Linebackers Coach and Academic Liaison, where he helped raise the team GPA by 0.4. The following fall, he returned to Siena Heights, mentoring two All-Conference linebackers — Tanner Rubinstein (Defensive MVP, now at Toledo) and Clarke Hamilton (Battered Hat Award winner).

 

As Special Teams Coordinator, McGaughy guided the Saints to their first punt return touchdown in over five years and multiple blocked punts in 2024, helping spark a new era of impact play in the third phase of the game. The saints also averaged 12 yards/return on Punt Return. 

 

McGaughy is the Husband of Sierra McGaughy and Father of Haven Mcgaughy
