Early life

McCoy attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he played for the Miami Redskins football team from 1907 to 1910.

[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.
