John C. Futrall, an alumnus of the Arkansas Industrial University, later renamed the University of Arkansas, was the first head coach of the Arkansas college football program, serving from 1894-1896, while the mascot was still the Cardinal. Futrall later served as president of the University of Arkansas from 1913 to 1939. He was killed in an auto accident in 1939, and the first student union on the University of Arkansas campus was named Memorial Hall in his honor when it opened later that year.
