Early life
McCoy attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he played for the Miami Redskins football team from 1907 to 1910.[1] He was a member of the 1908 Redskins team that outscored its opponents 113–10 while posting a 7–0 record, and was later the captain of the 1910 team during his senior year.[1] McCoy also played baseball and basketball and ran track for Miami.[2]
Coaching career
McCoy got his start as a football coach at the Sewanee Military Academy, a preparatory school affiliated with the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.[2] McCoy replaced George E. Pyle as the Florida Gators football coach and held that position for three seasons from 1914 to 1916, and compiled a 9–10 record at Florida.[3][4] He also served as Florida's first basketball coach during the 1915–1916 season and accumulated a 5–1 record.[5] As measured by his winning percentage (.833), McCoy remains the winningest coach in Gators basketball history. Florida did not field a basketball team for the 1916–1917 season.
After a winless 0–5 football season in 1916, McCoy was replaced as football coach by Alfred L. Buser.[4]
