Theodore P. Sloane (March 22, 1903 – December 21, 1984) was an American football player and coach and state legislator.
Sloane attended Valley Junction High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, before enrolling at Drake University.
[1] Sloane next attended the United States Naval Academy, where he played for the Navy Midshipmen football team.
Sloane then returned to Drake University where he studied law and served as the line coach for the football team.
He was offered an opportunity to play professional football for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL), but he reportedly declined as the salary of $500 to $1,000 per year was less than he was able to make as a lawyer.
