Glen Doris Wolfe (June 24, 1939 – September 29, 2015) was American football coach. He served as the head football coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State University from 1975 to 1977, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College from 1978 to 1990, and Georgia Military College in 1991. At Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, he led his teams to a record of 110–18–3 and two NJCAA National Football Championships, in 1980 and 1986.
Wolfe was born on June 24, 1939, in Holdenville, Oklahoma.[1] He graduated from Shawnee High School in Shawnee, Oklahoma and later earned degrees from Murray State College in Tishomingo, Oklahoma and from East Central State College—now known as East Central University—in Ada, Oklahoma. He played football at both Murray State and East Central.[2]
Wolfe began his coach career in 1963 at Pawnee High School in Pawnee, Oklahoma as an assistant to head football coach Lee Horne.[3] In 1964, he moved to Lindsay High School in Lindsay, Oklahoma, where he was an assistant football coach for two seasons. In 1966, he was hired as head football coach at Holdenville High School in Holdenville, Oklahoma.[4] After five seasons at Holdenville, Wolfe resigned to take on the same role at Moore High School in Moore, Oklahoma.[5]
Wolfe was hired as head football coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State in 1975, succeeding Bobby Thompson.[6] After three seasons at Northwestern Oklahoma State, he took on the same role at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M.[7] Following his 13-year tenure at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, Wolfe was hired as the head football coach at Georgia Military College, which had not fielded a football team since 1959.[8][9] Wolfe resigned after one season because of budgets cuts and was succeeded by the team's defensive coordinator, Robert Nunn.[10]
Wolfe died on September 29, 2015, in Rogers, Arkansas.[11]
