Fred David Herbold (September 25, 1875 – May 9, 1914)[6] was an American college football coach at the University of Idaho and Oregon Agricultural College, (now Oregon State University).

From Eugene, Oregon, Herbold graduated with a pharmacy degree from Purdue University in Indiana in 1899. He then worked in Montana at Butte, as a chemist for a mining company,[2] and also coached football at Butte High School that fall.

Collegiate coaching[edit]

Herbold's first head collegiate coaching position was at the University of Idaho in Moscow in 1900. He coached the Vandals for two seasons and compiled a 4–2–1 record.

In 1902, Herbold left UI to become the head coach for the Oregon Agricultural Beavers in Corvallis. He was the head coach for just one season, with a record of 4–1–1. Herbold's overall record in his three seasons stands at 8–3–2.

After coaching[edit]

After the 1902 season at OAC, Herbold returned to the mining industry in Butte, with plans to return to Corvallis for the 1903 football season.[7]

In 1906, Herbold married Minnie Pope in Hailey, Idaho, on August 31.[8][9] They relocated to eastern Montana to Sanders, where Herbold had acquired agricultural land near the Yellowstone River.[8][10][11]

As of 1911, Herbold was listed in the Purdue alumni register as a rancher in Montana at Forsyth.[3] He died in Montana in 1914 at age 38, and is buried in Oregon at Pioneer Cemetery in Eugene.
