The 2020 Old Dominion Monarchs football team would have represented Old Dominion University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season, being slated to compete in the East Division of Conference USA (C-USA). On August 10, the university canceled its football season, as well as all other fall sports competitions, due to the complications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Monarchs would have been led by first-year head coach Ricky Rahne and would have played their home games at S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia.
Following a finish of 1âÂÂ11 overall and 0âÂÂ8 in conference play from their previous season, head coach Bobby Wilder resigned from his duties as the first head coach for Old Dominion's re-established football program.
In December 2019, Old Dominion hired Penn State offensive coordinator Ricky Rahne to become the team's next head coach. In January 2020, Rahne recruited new coaching staff consisting of offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell, special teams coordinator Kevin Smith, and defensive coordinator Blake Seiler.
