Tim Marcum is considered to be the most successful coach in the history of Arena Football. Winner of an AFL-record seven ArenaBowl titles, he is a member of the Sports Hall of Fame and is currently the head coach of the Tampa Bay Storm. His best-known pupil is probably Jay Gruden, who quarterbacked Marcum's teams to two of his ArenaBowl championships and is now head coach of the rival Orlando Predators.
