The 1955 Coe Kohawks football team represented Coe College as a member of the Midwest Conference (MWC) during the 1955 college football season. Led by Dick Clausen in his eighth and final season as head coach, the Kohawks compiled a perfect overall record of 8–0 with a mark of 7–0 in conference play, winning the MWC title. [1] [2]
After the season, Coe received a "feeler" from representatives of the Tangerine Bowl. To play in a bowl game, Coe needed approval from the other MWC schools. The matter was put to a vote, and the MWC schools voted 6–3 against allowing the Kohawks to play in the bowl. [3]
Quarterback Elliott "Shady" Day was selected as the team's most valuable player. [4] Day completed 38 of 71 passes for 712 yards. [5] End George Cilek was selected as a second-team player on the 1955 Little All-America college football team. Day received honorable mention. [6] John "Crunch" Rosenberg ranked fourth in the nation in scoring among small college players. [5]
Coe played home games at Kingston Stadium in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
