Andy Kerr Back on Deck as East West Coach Icon
Christmas spirit aside, Andy Kerr returns to the East West scene as business manager and adviser for the Hest team. A spry octogenarian with a career spanning Pop Warner to Stanford, Kerr credits his math precision and coaching instincts for producing prep winners. He recalls Ernie Nevers as the greatest back he coached and Danny Formann as the finest lineman, noting Formann’s later stellar NFL performance and the 1940 Bears Redskins shellacking in the NFL championship run.

Kerr Reemerges as Colgate Coach After Interim Washington and Jefferson Stint
Kerr, a veteran coach with past Colgate leadership and an interim role at Washington and Jefferson, returns to Colgate for the 1936 season leading a stout team that boasted an unbeaten, unscored upon record yet failed to receive a bowl bid. He notes a mix of proven linemen from the Midwest and South, including Rutgens, Tyrer, Rice, and Darre, with front-line averages around 220 pounds. Kerr hopes to depart Kezar Stadium locker room after the East-West game on March 31.
