A native of Shelbyville, Tennessee, Coffey attended the University of Tennessee to play football for Robert Neyland. While at the University of Tennessee he played guard, lettered from 1953 to 1955 and was selected as the team captain his senior year. Coffey also maintained the highest grade average for four years of any member of the UT squad.[1] Coffey served as the head football coach at Virginia Tech from 1971 to 1973, compiling a record of 12–20–1. Coaching careerAfter graduating from the University of Tennessee, Coffey began his coaching career as an assistant football coach at Hialeah High School in Miami, Florida. Then he spent five years at Southeastern Louisiana University. His next move was to George Washington University in Washington D.C., and then back to his alma mater for two years coaching for Jim McDonald and Doug Dickey.[1] He served as an assistant football coach at Tennessee, tutoring the defensive line from 1963 to 1965.[2] In 1965, Coffey received an offer to join Frank Broyles' staff at the University of Arkansas as defensive coordinator. During that time, Coffey was earning a reputation as a strong leader and an excellent football coach. After five years coaching at Arkansas with Broyles, three schools tried to recruit Coffey for their head coach positions. The first school he visited was Virginia Tech and in 1971 without even visiting the other schools, he became their head football coach. Once he arrived in Blacksburg, Coffey established a potent passing attack, which resulted in Hokies quarterback Don Strock leading the nation in total passing and total offense in 1972. During his time in Blacksburg, he set the program awash in orange, made a whirlwind media tour of the state to promote the Virginia Tech football team and improved the athletic facilities. Most significantly, the new coach broke with Tech tradition and installed a pass-happy offense. Attendance at Virginia Tech football games increased to record breaking numbers. The highlight of the 1972 season came when Tech upset 19th-ranked Oklahoma State in Blacksburg.[1] After completing his three-season tenure from 1971 to 1973, he compiled a 12–20–1 record. Nationwide Express truckingCoffey then entered the trucking business in 1975, and founded Nationwide Express trucking company in 1981.[1] DeathCoffey died at the age of 81, in his house in Shelbyville, Tennessee, on August 24, 2015.[3][4] Head coaching record{{CFB Yearly Record Start | type = coach | team = | conf = | bowl = | poll = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Subhead| name = Virginia Tech Gobblers | conf = NCAA University Division / Division I independent | startyear = 1971 | endyear = 1973 }}{{CFB Yearly Record Entry | championship = | year = 1971 | name = Virginia Tech | overall = 4–7 | conference = | confstanding = | bowlname = | bowloutcome = | bcsbowl = | ranking = no | ranking2 = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Entry | championship = | year = 1972 | name = Virginia Tech | overall = 6–4–1 | conference = | confstanding = | bowlname = | bowloutcome = | bcsbowl = | ranking = no | ranking2 = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Entry | championship = | year = 1973 | name = Virginia Tech | overall = 2–9 | conference = | confstanding = | bowlname = | bowloutcome = | bcsbowl = | ranking = no | ranking2 = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Subtotal | name = Virginia Tech | overall = 12–20–1 | confrecord = }}{{CFB Yearly Record End | overall = 12–20–1 | bowls = no | poll = no | polltype = | legend = no }} References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Coffey, Charles E.|url=http://tshf.net/halloffame/coffey-charles-e/|work=Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame|accessdate=April 28, 2013}} {{Virginia Tech Hokies football coach navbox}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Coffey, Charlie}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Coffey, Cutcliffe, Ford, Long and Wyant To Be Honored By Letterman's Club|url=http://www.utsports.com/genrel/093005aad.html|work=University of Tennessee Sports|publisher=The University of Tennessee|accessdate=April 28, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://hamptonroads.com/2015/08/former-hokies-football-coach-charlie-coffey-dies-81|date=August 24, 2015|publisher=PilotOnline.com|last=Bitter|first=Andy|title=Former Hokies football coach Charlie Coffey dies at 81}} 4. ^1 http://obits.theadvocate.com/obituaries/theadvocate/obituary.aspx?n=charles-edward-coffey&pid=175652234 11 : 1934 births|2015 deaths|American football guards|Arkansas Razorbacks football coaches|George Washington Colonials football coaches|Southeastern Louisiana Lions football coaches|Tennessee Volunteers football coaches|Tennessee Volunteers football players|Virginia Tech Hokies football coaches|High school football coaches in the United States|People from Shelbyville, Tennessee |
