J. G. Britton was the fourth head college football coach for the Carroll College (Wisconsin) Pioneers located in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for the 1898 season. His career coaching record at Carroll College was 3 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties. This ranks him 20th at Carroll College in total wins and 22nd at Carroll College in winning percentage.

The $5,000 Game
Britton was the head coach during a game witnessed by Miss Anna Sackett, who found the game to be so brutal that she revoked $5,000 from her will that had been bequested to Carroll College. She claimed that the "players were brutes" and would no longer support the school if they continued play. Later that same year (October 29), she died and left none of the funds to the college.
