Mark Fabish

Mark Fabish (born May 10, 1975) is an American college football coach and former player. He is the head football coach for Peddie School, a position he has held since 2024.

Early life and education Fabish was born in 1974/1975 and grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. He attended Bergen Catholic High School and helped them win consecutive state championships while catching passes from Mark DeRosa. He received little attention from colleges due to his small size (Fabish was 5 ft 10 in and 166 pounds by 1996) but ended up joining the Penn Quakers in 1993, being part of Al Bagnoli's first recruiting class at the school. Fabish totaled 69 receptions for 928 yards and nine touchdowns in his college career. He also served as their return specialist, and as of 2023 still holds the school's all-time records for return touchdowns, kickoff return yards and punt return yards. He then served from 1998 to 1999 as the wide receivers coach for the Monmouth Hawks and from 2000 to 2001 as their quarterbacks coach, before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2002. He helped them win their first mid-major national championship in 2004 and continued serving with them through 2007. In 2009, he was named tight ends coach at his alma mater, Penn. He switched to being their wide receivers coach and added the responsibility of passing game coordinator in 2010; he served in these roles through 2014. In his sole season as head coach, he led the team to a 3–7 season. He was not retained following the season.

In 2024, Fabish was hired as the head football coach for the Peddie School.
