Calvin C. Stoll (December 12, 1923 – August 25, 2000) was an American football player and coach. He played Defensive End for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the 1948 and 1949 seasons.[13][14] Before graduating from Minnesota in June 1950, Stoll was named the head coach at Mound High School (later renamed to Mound Westonka High School) on May 10, 1950.[15] At Mound High School, he achieved a 6-1 record and a Lake Conference co-championship.[16][17] After the 1950 high school football season, Stoll jumped to the college ranks where he served as an assistant coach from 1951 to 1968. As an assistant coach at Michigan State, he helped the team achieve back to back National Championships in 1965 and 1966. He served as the head coach at Wake Forest University from 1969 to 1971 [18] where he led the Demon Deacons to their first Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship in 1970.[11] Stoll then served as the head coach at the University of Minnesota from 1972 to 1978.[19] Stoll's most notable season at Minnesota was in 1977 when he led the Golden Gophers to a 16-0 shutout victory over top ranked Michigan and a trip to the 1977 Hall of Fame Classic Bowl game. Stoll finished his college coaching career after the 1978 season, compiling a career college football record of 54–56.
In the spring of 1986, Stoll was the head coach of Italian amateur football team Warriors Bologna, and won the Italian Bowl VI at Bologna.[20]
In 1988, Stoll was inducted into the Minnesota Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame.[21]
