Elroy Bert Coan III (July 2, 1940 – February 19, 2022) was an American football player.
Coan played for Kansas – and helped the Jayhawks win the 1960 game by a score of 23–7 over Missouri, then-ranked #1.
But later, the Big Eight declared Coan ineligible, due to a recruiting violation by Bud Adams while Coan was still at Texas Christian University (TCU)[1] and forfeited the game to Missouri—thus erasing Missouri's only loss on the field that year.
Missouri counts the 1960 game as a win by forfeit, thus giving it the only undefeated and untied season in school history.
