Charles Wantland (June 7, 1980)[1] is an American football coach, who served as the head football coach at the University of Central Oklahoma. Previously, Bobeck served as the head football coach at Navarro College, a junior college in Texas, from 2008 to 2011. In 2008, Bobeck received the NJCAA Coach of the Year honors after leading the Bulldogs to a 10–1 record.[2] Bobeck's team followed that up two years later with the 2010 NJCAA National Football Championship.[3]

Early life and education

Wantland grew up in Purcell, Oklahoma. He attended Purcell High School and graduated in 1906.[4] He would later attend the University of Oklahoma where Wantland would participate on the football, baseball, and basketball teams.[5] In football he played right half, was the kick returner and placekicker. He is perhaps best known for the 1908 game against Texas in which he returned a kick for 90 yards and a touchdown, part of a four touchdown performance to defeat the Longhorns.[6] During the 1909—1910 season he was the captain of the Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball team.[7]

Coaching career

Early positions

After graduation from Oklahoma, Wantland coached at Lindsay High School in 1910.[8] After that year coach Bennie Owen tasked Wantland to be an assistant for the football team.[9] During this time Wantland was also a baseball umpire.[10]

Central State

In 1912 Wantland was hired to lead the athletic program at Central State Normal School (later renamed Central State Teachers College, now the University of Central Oklahoma.) While at CSN he coached the football, basketball, and wrestling teams, and was also the dean of men at the college. It was during this time where he lead Central into what would be known as the Golden Age of Central Football. He was instrumental in founding the first Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference in which all normal schools in the state participated. He is known for defeating Oklahoma Methodist, (now Oklahoma City University) by a score of 183-0. During the 1924 season, Wantland had his greatest success, after a season opening loss to Southwestern (KS), he lead the Bronchos to their only win over his alma mater the Oklahoma Sooners, shortly thereafter the Bronchos would defeat eventual Southwest Conference Champion Baylor Bears in Dallas, on the way to a 9-2 record and the OIC crown.

Fired by Governor Murray

In 1930 former senator Alfalfa Bill Murray was campaigning to be governor, during this time he urged public officials to actively support his candidacy. However, college president John Gorden Mitchell and Wantland refused to do so, choosing to stay neutral in political affairs. When Murray was successful in his gubenatorial bid he swiftly fired both President Mitchell and Wantland. Wantland never returned to the coaching ranks.

Bronchos as Mascot

In 1922 Mrs. Wantland chose the Broncho as the mascot for CSTC.[11][12]

After coaching

After being fired by Governor Murray, Wantland entered the oil supply business until his retirement in 1953. He died in 1964. Wantland is the namesake for two buildings on Central Oklahoma's campus, the former field house and current physical education building Wantland Hall, and Wantland Stadium the home for Broncho football since 1965. In 1998 Wantland would be named by the Purcell Register to the Purcell High School all-century team, the earliest player to make the list.[13]
