Q: Did John Heisman (of Heisman Trophy fame) coach football at Auburn University?
A: Yes, he coached at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama from 1895 until 1899.
“Heisman, the valedictorian of his graduating class of 1887, was captain of the baseball team, a championship gymnast, and a member of the football team for three years,” the article says. “He continued to play football in college, first at Brown University and then at the University of Pennsylvania , where he earned a law degree.”
Heisman's first season at Auburn consisted of only three games, with a loss to Vanderbilt and wins over rivals the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia. In his second year at Auburn, Heisman posted a 3-1 record with lopsided wins over Mercer, Georgia Tech, and Sewanee, and a loss to Georgia. Auburn went 2-0-1 in 1897, 2-1 in 1898, and 3-1-1 in Heisman's final season of 1899.
