Robert William Kahler (February 13, 1917 – April 16, 2013) was an American football player and coach. He played defensive back and halfback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Green Bay Packers from 1942 to 1944. Kahler played college football at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He retired from playing in 1944.[1][2]
After military service in World War II, Kahler returned to Nebraska as an assistant football and track coach. In 1947–48, he was the head football and track coach at Nebraska City High School. In 1948, he moved to State Normal School and Teacher's College in Wayne, Nebraska—now Wayne State College—as head football coach and led his team to a share of the Nebraska College Conference championship. The following year, he moved to Northern Illinois University, where he served as head coach for one season in 1955.[3]
While at Nebraska, Kahler was also an accomplished track and field athlete, setting an American indoor record of 7.8 seconds in the 70 yards hurdles.[3]
