Fred Nielsen (1910-1911)
 

Though he coached at four different schools in the Washington DC area from 1905 through 1916, Fred Nielsen's two year record at Georgetown was the most productive.

From 1910 through 1911, Georgetown outscored its opponents 438-57 and suffered only two defeats: a 17-0 loss to Pitt, the undefeated and unscored-upon national champions, and a 28-5 loss to Carlisle, led by All-American Jim Thorpe.

A decade after earning his LL.M from Georgetown, Nielsen left coaching to pursue a distinguished career in international law and diplomacy, serving as a Georgetown professor, an international trade representative, and solicitor for the Department of State.
