Robert Thomas Jauron (May 8, 1919 – July 20, 2010) was an American football player and coach.

A native of Nashua, New Hampshire,[1] Jauron attended Nashua High School where he was a three-sport star in football, baseball, and track. After graduating from high school in 1938, he played college football (as a halfback) and baseball at Boston College.[2]

Jauron began his coaching career as a high school coach, compiling a 73–14–1 record. He next served as the head football coach at St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana, from 1954 to 1958. He compiled a 32–13–1 record in five years at Saint Joseph's and left the position in the spring of 1959.[1]

After leaving Saint Joseph's, Jauron coached for a year for the Kitchener Dutchmen of the Canadian League. In 1960, he returned to high school as the head coach at Memorial High School in Manchester, New Hampshire.[3] After one year in Manchester, he accepted a high school coaching position in Lynn, Massachusetts. In March 1967, he was hired as an offensive coach at Xavier University in Cincinnati.[2] He also served as the head football coach for Brandeis University's club team from 1971 to 1972.[4][5]

Jauron was the father of National Football League coach Dick Jauron.[6]
