Dr. Marvin Allen "Mal" Stevens (April 14, 1900 – December 6, 1979)[1] was an orthopedic surgeon and college football player and coach. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974.

Born in Stockton, Kansas, Stevens attended Washburn College for three years before transferring to Yale University.[1] He lettered in three sports at Washburn and played halfback on Yale's undefeated 1923 football team.[1] He graduated from Yale in 1925 and was a member of Skull and Bones.[2] He graduated from Yale Medical School in 1929.[1]

Stevens coached the Yale football team from 1928 to 1932, leaving to become the 21st head coach for the New York University Violets from 1934 until 1941.[1] [3] His career coaching record at NYU was 33 wins, 34 losses, and 2 ties. This ranks him second at NYU in total wins and tenth at NYU in winning percentage.[4] Coach Stevens was awarded a place in the NYU Athletic Hall of Fame for his coaching efforts.[5]

Stevens then served as a lieutenant commander in the US Navy during World War II.[1] In 1946 he became head coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Football Conference.[1] He was the Eastern Director of the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute and Clinic in Jersey City, New Jersey and clinical professor of orthopedic surgery at Bellevue Hospital Center.
