The Western Mustangs have entered a new era with the appointment of Michael Faulds as the program’s eighth head coach in nearly a century of football. A quarterback from 2005 to 2009, Faulds led the Mustangs to two Yates Cup championships while playing under head coach Greg Marshall.
After 13 seasons at the helm of the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, Faulds has returned to his alma mater to take over from Marshall, who retired after 18 years leading the Mustangs. During his tenure, Marshall guided Western to nine Yates Cup titles and two Vanier Cup championships, cementing his place as one of the most decorated and longest-serving coaches in team history.
