Glen Rose (April 23, 1905 – September 3, 1994) was an American college football and college basketball coach. He served as the head basketball coach at the University of Arkansas from 1933 to 1942 and again from 1952 to 1966, as well as the head football coach at the school for two seasons during World War II (1944–1945). Rose was also the head basketball coach at Stephen F. Austin College from 1948 to 1952.
Rose was born on April 23, 1905, Siloam Springs, Arkansas. He grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas. Rose died on September 3, 1994, at Fayetteville City Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas, following several months of declining health.[1]
Basketball
[edit]Rose played basketball for the Arkansas Razorbacks and was selected All-Southwest Conference from 1926 to 1928, and as an All-American in 1928. After his playing days ended, he served as assistant coach from 1929 to 1932.
In 1932, Rose became head coach at Arkansas and led the team from 1933 to 1942, winning five Southwest Conference titles. He coached at Stephen F. Austin College for four seasons from 1948 to 1952, before returning to Arkansas for 14 more seasons from 1952 to 1966.
Rose compiled a record of 325–201 at Arkansas and 56–35 at Stephen F. Austin.
Football
[edit]In 1944, Rose received a medical discharge from the United States Army and returned to Arkansas as head football coach and athletic director.[2] He resigned after a poor 1945 season and was replaced by John Barnhill.[3]
