Thomas Gawthrop "Doggie" Trenchard (May 3, 1874 – October 16, 1943)[1][2][3] was an All-American football player at Princeton University in 1893 and a college football head coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Pittsburgh, and West Virginia University.

Early life and playing career

Trenchard was born in Queen Anne's County, Maryland.[4] During his early coaching career, Trenchard played professional football in 1896 for the Allegheny Athletic Association[5] and in 1897, 1898 and 1900 for the Latrobe Athletic Association.[6] He also played for the 1898 Western Pennsylvania All-Star football team, formed by Latrobe manager Dave Berry.[7]

Coaching career

In 1895, and from 1913 to 1915, he coached at North Carolina, where he compiled a 26–9–2 record. His best season there came in 1914, when North Carolina started the season 10–0 before losing its final game to Virginia. In 1896, he coached at West Virginia and compiled a 3–7–2 record. In 1897, he coached at Pittsburgh, and compiled a 1–3 record.

He is erroneously referred to as "T. C. Trenchard" in most North Carolina football media guides.
