James Farragher

James Francis Farragher (September 10, 1873 – February 22, 1949) was an American college football player and coach. He played left tackle at the University of Notre Dame in the early 1900s. He is often identified in official university histories as the team's head coach for the 1902 and 1903 seasons. This claim remains controversial among sports historians, some of whom assign this honor to Farragher's teammate, All-American Louis J. Salmon, who served as team captain during the 1902 and 1903 seasons. Both men are routinely credited as acting coaches in official histories of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team.
