The Coe Kohawks football team represents Coe College in college football at the NCAA Division III level. The Kohawks are members of the American Rivers Conference (A-R-C), fielding its team in the A-R-C since 1997 when it was the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC). The Kohawks play their home games at K. Raymond Clark Field in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.[2] The team's head coach is Tyler Staker, who took over the position for the 2016 season.[3]

Professor C. W. Perkins first proposed the "Kohawks" fight name during the 1922 season.[4] It did not go into effect until the 1928 season. The team had previously been called the Warriors and the Crimson.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Although the first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1902, it has been continuously played since the 1916 game, and is recognized as the oldest bowl game by the NCAA. "—" indicates any season prior to 1916 when postseason games were not played.[6]
  2. ^ A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "—" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
  3. ^ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.[7]
  4. ^ When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.[8]
