Charles James McCoy was an American college football and basketball coach. McCoy was the third head coach of the Florida Gators football team and the first head coach of the Florida Gators men's basketball team that represent the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.

Early life

McCoy attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he played for the Miami Redskins football team from 1907 to 1910.[1] He was a member of the 1908 Redskins team that outscored its opponents 113–10 while posting a 7–0 record, and was later the captain of the 1910 team during his senior year.[1] McCoy also played baseball and basketball and ran track for Miami.[2]

Coaching career

McCoy got his start as a football coach at the Sewanee Military Academy, a preparatory school affiliated with the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.[2] McCoy replaced George E. Pyle as the Florida Gators football coach and held that position for three seasons from 1914 to 1916, and compiled a 9–10 record at Florida.[3][4] He also served as Florida's first basketball coach during the 1915–1916 season and accumulated a 5–1 record. As measured by his winning percentage (.833), McCoy remains the winningest coach in Gators basketball history. Florida did not field a basketball team for the 1916–1917 season.

After a winless 0–5 football season in 1916, McCoy was replaced as football coach by Alfred L. Buser.[4]

McCoy served as the head coach at Ohio Wesleyan University in 1917.[5]
