Donor Information: The Don Faurot Papers were donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri by Mary Faurot on April 18, 1999 (Accession No. CA5807). Subsequent additions were made by members of the Faurot family between December 2004 and August 2012 (Accession No. CA6067) Processed by: Aleksandra Kinlen on June 28, 2021 Historical Note: Donald (Don) Burrows Faurot was born in Mountain Grove, Missouri, in 1902 to parents Frederick W. Faurot (1870-1965) and Charlotte Burrows Faurot (1875-1951). (C2971) Don Faurot Papers Page 2 After moving around the state—first to St. Joseph and then to Columbia—Don and his three brothers and four sisters moved back to Mountain Grove, from which he graduated high school in 1920. He went on to the University of Missouri that fall and eventually joined the football team as a punter and halfback by his junior year in 1923, continuing with the squad during his senior year in which they won their conference championship. Alongside football, Don was a basketball and baseball letterman at the University of Missouri and captain of the former his senior year. Because he had another year of football eligibility remaining, he continued to play on the team until graduating with a bachelor’s of science degree in agriculture in 1925. Faurot entered the coaching world that year when he accepted the positions of freshman football, baseball, and basketball coach at his alma mater but shortly after joined the athletic staff at Northeast Missouri State Teacher’s College (Kirksville). There, he coached football, basketball, baseball, and track, leading all of his teams to winning records during his nine years in Kirksville. Faurot went back to the University of Missouri for two summers while still on the Kirksville coaching staff, completing courses in agriculture that would allow him to garner a master’s degree in horticulture in 1927. That same year he married Mary Frances Davidson (1906-2004), with whom he would have three daughters and one son. His next position was as athletic director and football coach at the University of Missouri, beginning in 1935. His greatest accomplishment in the sporting world was the invention of the “Split-T” formation, revealed in 1941, which led the Missouri team to the Big Six conference title in that same year as well as in 1942. While he was enjoying a successful career as the head football coach at the University of Missouri, he volunteered for naval service in World War II a few months after one of his younger brothers, Robert (Bob) (1917-1943), was killed in action. The Navy was hesitant to take Don because he had lost two fingers on his right hand in a farming accident when he was nine years old, but eventually he was commissioned a lieutenant in the Naval Reserve in June, 1943. He first went to the Navy pre-flight school at the University of Iowa, where he served as the head coach for their football team, before he was transferred to Monmouth College in Illinois and then to Jacksonville, Florida, to run physical training at their pre-flight schools. When the war ended in 1945, Faurot was assigned to the commissioning detail aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Brooklyn Naval Yard as the athletic director. Later that year, he returned to Columbia to reclaim the position of head football coach at the university. At the end of his illustrious coaching career in 1956, his overall record was 101-78-10. Because of Faurot’s immense success combined with alumni support, the Missouri Tigers were able to expand their stadium—Memorial Stadium—from 24,000 seats in 1935 to 60,000 seats in 1978. The name of the stadium was also changed to Faurot Field in 1972. After retiring as head football coach in 1956, he continued on as athletic director until his mandatory retirement in 1967. From there, he was involved with the Missouri Alumni Association and was secretary of the Missouri Senior Golf Association. Faurot was elected to the Northeast Missouri State University Sports Hall of Fame, Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, National Football Hall of Fame, the University of Missouri Intercollegiate Hall of Fame, the Orange Bowl Hall of Honor, and the Blue-Gray Game Hall of Honor. He was also a member of the Missouri Squires and past president of the National Football Coaches Association.

    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.
