George Emanuel Toomey[1][2] (October 17, 1873 – c. 1932) was an American football coach. He served as the head football coach at Colorado Agricultural College—now known as Colorado State University for one season, in 1900, compiling a record of 1–3. He forced to resign following a scandal in 1901 regarding his playing a professional player. Toomey graduated from University of Denver in 1898, where he was a member of the baseball team, the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and leader of the glee club. His hometown was Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, and he had previously attended Baker University.[3] In 1900, Toomey had also been named professor of Oratory at Colorado State.
He later returned to Kansas where he was an evangelist.[4] He died around 1932.[5]
