Gary Angelo Marangi (born July 29, 1952 in Rockville Centre, New York) is a former quarterback for the Boston College Eagles and Buffalo Bills.

Boston College

Marangi played football at Boston College from 1971-1973. He completed 235 of 447 passes for 2,739 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions. Although Boston College was 20-13 during Marangi's tenure, including a 9-2 sophomore season, the Eagles never made it to a bowl game.

Buffalo Bills

Marangi was selected by the Bills in the 3rd Round (70th pick overall) of the 1974 NFL Draft. He was the backup quarterback in 1974, behind Joe Ferguson. He appeared in 3 games, completing 9 of 18 passes for 140 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. In 1975 he appeared in 5 games, completing 13 of 33 passes for 235 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. In 1976 Joe Ferguson was leading all quarterbacks in most statistical categories going into the 7th game against the New England Patriots, Ferguson sustained a back injury and was sidelined for the season. Marangi replaced him and finished the season completing only 82 of 232 passes (35.3%) for 998 yards, 7 touchdowns and 16 interceptions - the worst all-time completion record in a season (minimum 200 attempts) [ [http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/wordpress/?p=351 Pro-football-reference.com blog » Fun QBs ] ] . A mobile quarterback, he rushed for 230 yards on 39 attempts and 2 touchdowns. The Bills finished a dismal 2-12, tied for second worst record in the league (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished 0-14). After 1977, Marangi was traded to the Green Bay Packers and never appeared in the NFL again.

After Football

Gary is currently the Dean of Patchouge-Medford High School in Medford, NY.
