Marc MacMillan is in his first season as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas-Monticello. Coach MacMillan will oversee the pitching staff and coordinate the Boll Weevils recruiting efforts while at the same time assist the head coach with day-to-day operations of the baseball program.

Before joining the Boll Weevils staff, MacMillan served as the Head Baseball Coach at Crichton College (NAIA) in Memphis, TN. Prior to the beginning of the 2009 season, Crichton announced the necessity to do away with all its athletic teams beginning in the fall of 2010. Despite the news, MacMillan led the Comets to a 23-23 overall record in its final year including wins over Gulf South Conference members Christian Brothers University and Harding University. MacMillan oversaw a pitching staff that finished in the Top 25% or better (out of 212 teams) in opponents batting average, batters struck out per game, and number of hits per game.

Before taking over the head duties at Crichton College, MacMillan spent just over eight years as Head Baseball Coach at Memphis University School (MUS) in Memphis, TN.  During his tenure, MacMillan led his squad to the most successful season in school history finishing as state semi-finalists in 2006.  As well, a number of MacMillan’s players went on to play college baseball at schools including Baylor University, the University of Mississippi, the University of Virginia, Christian Brothers University, and Rhodes College.

MacMillan was also responsible for recruiting and coaching the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association’s (TBCA) Team Tennessee squads from 2004-2006 that participated in the prestigious sophomore and junior Sunbelt Series Tournaments held annually in Oklahoma.  The teams put together by MacMillan were the tournament champions twice and runner-up once while playing against top tier competition from Arizona, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Canada.  Ten players recruited by MacMillan to play for Team Tennessee have been selected in the MLB draft with seven out of those 10 being pitchers. 

While two players signed football scholarships and one player went directly to professional baseball after being drafted in the first round, 39 of 42 went on to play college baseball at schools such as Vanderbilt University, the University of Virginia, the University of Tennessee, the University of North Carolina, the University of Mississippi, the University of Memphis, the University of Louisville, and the University of Kentucky to name a few.

Additionally, MacMillan has served as an Associate Scout for the Seattle Mariners, and this past summer, he managed the 18U APAK All-Stars out of Memphis, TN to an overall record of 31-5, closing out the summer on a 19-game win streak. Seven players from APAK signed baseball scholarships including one who was selected in the 21^st round of the MLB draft.

As a player, MacMillan fielded multiple positions during his four years at the University of Mississippi while receiving a bachelor’s degree in managerial finance. The highlight of MacMillan’s Ole Miss career was batting .428 in the 1995 NCAA Regional Tournament in Tallahassee, FL.

A native of Memphis, TN, MacMillan attended Memphis University School where he was named All-State in both baseball and football along with being selected as the 1991 Mr. Football for Class AA and the 1992 winner of the Commercial Appeal’s “Best of Preps” AA Male Athlete of the Year.
