Coaching career

From 1939 to 1943, Voyles served as the athletic director and head football coach at the College of William & Mary, where he compiled a 29–7–3 record. The William & Mary football team did not play during the 1943 season due to a lack of players.[1] In 1978, he was named to the William & Mary Athletic Hall of Fame along with all the members of his 1942 football team.
Auburn
From 1944 to 1947, Voyles coached at Auburn University (officially the Alabama Polytechnic Institute), where he compiled a 15–22 record.
Brooklyn Dodgers
In 1948, Voyles coached the professional football Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) for Branch Rickey.[2] When the team folded in 1949, he was given a position with the Dodgers baseball team.[3]
Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Voyles was the first head coach and general manager of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In his six seasons in Hamilton, he had a 48–27–1 record and won the 1953 Grey Cup. Voyles retired from football after the 1955 season to work as a sales supervisor for a Florida real estate company owned by Toronto stock broker and former Montreal Alouettes owner, Eric Cradock.[4]
Death
Voyles died on January 11, 1982, in Fort Myers, Florida, after a long period of illness.[5]
