He was also the 19th head football coach for the Colgate University Raiders, holding that position for three seasons, from 1919 until 1921. His overall coaching record at Colgate was 10 wins, 10 losses, and 5 ties. This ranks him 11th at Colgate in terms of total wins and 21st at Colgate in terms of winning percentage. [2]
