Prior to the season, 11th-year head coach Herb McQuillan resigned to accept an assistant position with Texas A&M.[37] Initially, former professional star Red Grange was in the running to be the next head coach.[38] The Stetson Alumni Association recommended that the school hire him as well.[38] While the association's recommendation was not binding, it was believed to hold weight on the president's decision on who to hire.[38] The president quickly refused, stating that he had six men in mind and that Grange was not one of them.[39] Instead, the school opted to hire Florida assistant Brady Cowell.[40]
