That season, Central Missouri had the top-ranked offense in NCAA Division II averaging 547.5 yards per game, ranked second in passing offense (346.2 yards per game) and was sixth in scoring offense at 44.8 points a contest. He coached two AFCA All-Americans in 2019 including a Harlon Hill finalist at quarterback.

McMenamin's 2017 offense at Central Missouri ranked second in NCAA Division II averaging 524.4 yards per game and set the top two single-game school records for a total offense that season while going 9-3 and earning a win over Minnesota Duluth in the Mineral Water Bowl 38-28.

His 2016 team reached the NCAA Division II playoffs going 9-3 while leading the MIAA and ranking ninth in NCAA Division II in pass offense. In his first season at Central Missouri in 2015, the Mules ranked second in the MIAA and 22^nd nationally in total offense while posting an 8-3 mark.

Prior to serving as offensive coordinator at Central Missouri, McMenamin served four years as the offensive coordinator at Wayne State College from 2011-14 with two winning seasons. His 2014 team at Wayne State ranked in the top 25 in NCAA Division II in seven different categories.

McMenamin also served as offensive coordinator at Midland University (2009-10) where he helped turn around a Warrior program that was 8-3 in 2010 and ranked #22 nationally in total offense for its most successful year in 16 seasons.
