Clinton Larue Hare (November 7, 1864 – June 4, 1909) was a manager, organizer, and coach of American football, and a lawyer and grocer. He served as the head football coach at Butler University for three seasons (1887, 1889, and 1890), at Purdue University for one season in 1890, and at DePauw University for one season in 1891, compiling a career college football coaching record of 14–4–1.
Hare graduated from Yale University in 1887, where he was a member of Skull and Bones. He was the manager of the Yale football team in 1885 and 1886. The 1886 Yale team went 9–0–1, outscored their opponents by a cumulative total of 687–4, and was later recognized as national co-champions with the Princeton team that they played to a scoreless tie in the season finale.[1]
Hare later worked as an attorney, and owned and managed a wholesale grocery in his hometown of Indianapolis.
