Samuel Blaine McCorkle II (born November 17, 1972) is an American college football coach. He is the head football coach for Dartmouth College,[1][2][3] a position he has held since 2023 after head football coach Buddy Teevens sustained injuries, and subsequently died, due to a bicycle accident. He was the head football coach for Martin County High School from 2003 to 2004. He also coached for Spanish River Community High School, Florida, and Tennessee–Martin. He played college football for Florida as a defensive back.[4]

After taking over the head coaching position at Dartmouth in 2023, McCorkle led the Big Green to a share of the Ivy League championship and, following the season, was named the 2023 Ivy League Coach of the Year.[5]
