[edit] Early Years
Andrew Kerr IV was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming to Andrew and Mary Elizabeth Kerr. His family moved east to Carlisle, Pennsylvania where Kerr attended secondary school. [2] He attended Dickinson College, where he played football, baseball, and track. He was a college track coach at Pittsburgh and also was an assistant football under legendary head coach Pop Warner.
[edit] Head coaching career
In 1922, Warner accepted the head coaching job at Stanford. Due to Warner's contractual obligations at Pitt, he sent Kerr to act as Stanford's head coach until his arrival in 1924.[3] He posted an 11-7 record in his two seasons. Kerr remained with Warner as an assistant for two more seasons, and also coached Stanford's men's basketball team from 1922 to 1926. Kerr served as the 23rd head football coach for the Colgate University Raiders located in the Village of Hamilton in Madison County, New York. He held that position for eighteen seasons, from 1929 until 1946. His overall coaching record at Colgate was 95 wins, 50 losses, and 7 ties. This ranks him first at Colgate in terms of total wins and 12th at Colgate in terms of winning percentage. [4] His 1932 Colgate squad was undefeated, and didn't allow a single point that season. [2]
