Frederick Lincoln Emory (April 10, 1867 – December 31, 1919)[2] was an American college football coach and professor of mechanics and applied mathematics.[1] He served as the first head football coach at West Virginia University, coaching one game in 1891. The single game that he coached was played on November 28, 1891, against Washington and Jefferson. The West Virginia Mountaineers lost by a score of 72 to zero, the second-worst loss in the history of the program.[3][4]
