Maurice Carthon (born April 24, 1961) is an American former professional football player and coach.
After his playing career ended, he became a coach, and served as the offensive coordinator for three NFL teams.
Carthon accepted a football scholarship from Arkansas State University, where he was coached by Larry Lacewell.
That same season his backfield mate, Herschel Walker led the league with 1,339 rushing yards.
In 1985, Carthon played a final season with the Generals, posting 175 carries for 726 yards and 6 touchdowns.
In early 2008, reports surfaced about a potential reuniting of Carthon and old coach Bill Parcells in Miami.
He has coached under Parcells for the New England Patriots, the New York Jets and, most recently, the Dallas Cowboys.
Carthon's son Ran played running back for the Indianapolis Colts, and was general manager for the Tennessee Titans.
