The First Football Coach
We have all rown up realizing that the most recognizable leader of a football team is generally the coach. They make the gameplans, train the players, and make the decisions important to a team's success. Tim Brown and his ever inquisitive mind asked, who was the first coach, or at least who was the first to be called a coach in the game of football.
In the podcast episode above historian Timothy P. Brown explains who that was through his careful research through the newspapers and periodicals that carried such early gridiron coverage. Check out the original article on Tim's pages:
