John Timothy Callahan (March 29, 1895[1] – May 14, 1976)[2] was an American football player and coach. He attended preparatory school at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and then enrolled at Yale University.[3] He played college football at the guard position for the Yale Bulldogs in 1916 and 1919 to 1920, and was a consensus first-team selection on the 1920 College Football All-America Team.[4] His education at Yale was interrupted during World War I by service as a pilot in the Naval Aviation Corps. He was stationed at Newport, Rhode Island, and later in South America, before being discharged in 1919.[5][6] Callahan was captain of the 1920 Yale Bulldogs football team while his brother Henry "Mike" Callahan was captain of the 1920 Princeton Tigers football team.[7]
