Noble was born in Learned, Mississippi. He attended Mississippi State University (then known as "Mississippi A&M") in Starkville, Mississippi, where he earned 14 varsity letters in four sports—football, basketball, baseball and track. He graduated in 1915.

After his college playing days were over, Noble served as the head football coach at Mississippi College (1916), the University of Mississippi ("Ole Miss") (1917–1918), and Mississippi State (1922), compiling a career college football record of 9–14–3. He was also the head basketball coach at Ole Miss for a season in 1918–1919, tallying a mark of 0–3, and the head baseball coach there for two seasons and for a total of 26 seasons at Mississippi State (1920–1943, 1946–1947), amassing a career college baseball record of 277–205–9. From 1938 to 1959, he was also the athletic director at Mississippi State.

Noble died on February 2, 1963 at a hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi; he was 69 years old.^[1] The Mississippi State baseball field was named in his honor in 1959, and he was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 1961.
