Gregory G. "Gus" Zitrides (c. 1916 – January 27, 1987) was an American college football player and coach. He coached at Brown University in 1950 and compiled a 1–8 record.[1] Zitrides also spent time as an assistant coach at Brown and Cornell University. He played as a guard at Dartmouth under Earl Blaik from 1936 to 1938.

Early life

Born to a family of Greek descent,[2] Zitrides attended Central High School in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he played football from 1932 to 1935.[3] Zitrides then attended Dartmouth College, where he played for the football team as a guard from 1936 to 1938 under head coach Earl Blaik.[4]

Coaching career and military service

He then served for three years as an assistant coach at Cornell University.[5] In 1942, Zitrides resigned his position to enter the United States Navy and earn a reserve commission through the V-5 program, which ran physical fitness programs around the country to train Navy pilots.[6]

After the War, Zitrides returned to his alma mater as a line coach in 1947 under head coach Rip Engle.[7] Before the 1950 season, Engle left to take over at Penn State, and he offered to bring along his assistants, Zitrides and Bill Doolittle.[8] Zitrides declined the offer because Brown University offered him the head coaching position.[8] Doolittle elected to remain at Brown as Zitrides's assistant.[8] Zitrides was relieved after recording only one win to eight losses in his first season.[9][10]

Later life

After his coaching career, Zitrides entered government service in 1951, in which he worked until his retirement in 1973.[3] He died in Langhorne, Pennsylvania on January 27, 1987 at the age of 71.[11] Manchester Central High School inducted him into its hall of fame in 1996.[3]
