Francis Schmidt -- Baseball / Basketball / Football

As head coach at the University of Arkansas, Francis Schmidt not only was present at the birth of Razorback basketball but created a program that became dominant in SWC basketball and the conference's first squad able to compete with schools from around the nation. Schmidt agreed to terms with TCU to become football and basketball coach on February 8, 1929.
A native of Nebraska, Schmidt played football at the University of Nebraska before earning a law degree. He began his coaching career at Arkansas City (Kansas) High School where he enjoyed tremendous success before taking a coaching job at Kendall College in Tulsa, Okla. (now the University of Tulsa). Schmidt enjoyed even greater success at the Tulsa school, where both his football and basketball teams produced wildly high-scoring marks for the time. Coaching at Kendall from 1915-22, Schmidt garnered a 73-26 record in basketball.
At the end of the 1922 season, the University of Arkansas hired Schmidt to take over its football program and create a basketball program. Schmidt turned around Arkansas' football fortunes and quickly developed the Hogs into a basketball power. Schmidt was the winningest coach in football and basketball at both Kendall and Arkansas before accepting the same dual roles at TCU.
Schmidt made an immediate impact at TCU, leading the Horned Frogs to their first SWC football championship and inspiring local civic leaders to raise funds to build a new football stadium, what is now Amon Carter Stadium. He had a similar impact in basketball, although not an immediate one. His first season was his worst at TCU, a 7-10 season with a 4-8 conference mark. After that, Schmidt won 65 of his next 79 games on the TCU hardwood. Schmidt's Frogs won the SWC crown in just his second year and became the dominant team in the region for the remainder of his time in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs finished just a game off the conference title in both 1932 and 1933 before regaining the SWC throne in 1934.
Schmidt left TCU shortly after winning the 1934 conference championship, taking over as head football coach at Ohio State. He coached seven seasons at OSU and compiled a record of 39-16-1, winning two Big Ten titles.
