John C. Futrall

John Clinton Futrall (March 9, 1873 – September 12, 1939) was an American football coach and college administrator. An alumnus of the Arkansas Industrial University, later renamed the University of Arkansas, he was the first head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks football program, serving from 1894 to 1896, while the school's mascot was still the Cardinal.

Futrall later served as president of the University of Arkansas from 1913 to 1939. He was killed in an auto accident in 1939.

The first student union on the University of Arkansas campus was named Futrall Memorial Hall in his honor when it opened later that year.
