George T. Barclay

George Thomas Barclay (May 24, 1910 – October 6, 1997) was an American college football player and coach.

[1] While serving as head coach at Washington and Lee University, Barclay took the Generals to their only postseason bowl appearance, leading the 1950 Washington and Lee Generals football team to the Gator Bowl, where they were beaten by Wyoming.

Snavely was a proponent of the single-wing offense but thought Carolina's players were more suited to the split-T formation, and Barclay helped install it there.

Barclay was dismissed from his alma mater in 1955, and replaced by Jim Tatum, who had been a teammate with him at Carolina.

Barclay died in the early morning hours of October 6, 1997, at his home in Asheville, North Carolina, following a heart attack.
