Ed Stahl

Floyd S. Stahl (July 18, 1899 – July 26, 1996) was an American collegiate athletic coach who held coaching and administrative positions at Harvard University and Ohio State University. He served as head coach of the Ohio State baseball team from 1930 to 1938, and during the same period worked as backfield coach for the Ohio State football team under head coach Francis Schmidt. In 1939 he joined Harvard as head baseball coach, a position he held until 1946, compiling an overall record of 54–69; his team won its conference title in his first season, though no games were played in 1944–45 because of World War II. Alongside baseball, Stahl coached the Harvard basketball team from 1943 to 1946, leading the Crimson to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 1946, where they were defeated in the Elite Eight by Ohio State. The following year Ohio State rehired him as head baseball coach, and he led the Buckeyes from 1947 to 1950 to an overall record of 129–108–1. In 1950 he moved to the basketball program, becoming head coach of the Ohio State men's team.
