Milton Enoch Daniel (October 6, 1890 – April 16, 1958) was an American independent oil operator, college football player and coach, and an important figure in the history of Texas Christian University (TCU). He played football at TCU, from 1908 to 1911, and one season at the University of Texas at Austin, in 1913.[1] In 1916, he returned to TCU to serve as the head football coach for two seasons, from 1916 to 1917, compiling a record of 14–4–1.[2] He was a generous donor to the university and served as the chairmen of its board of directors until his retirement in 1957. Milton Daniel Hall on the TCU campus is named in his honor, as is the Daniel-Meyer Athletic Complex.[3]
