Jesse Raymond Morrison (February 28, 1885 – November 19, 1982) was an American football and baseball player and a coach of football, basketball, and baseball.{{cite book |last=Porter |first=David L. |date=1987 |title=Biographical dictionary of American sports. Football |url= |location=New York, New York |publisher=Greenwood Press |page= |isbn=031325771X}} He served as the head football coach at Southern Methodist University (1915–1916, 1922–1934), Vanderbilt University (1918, 1935–1939), Temple University (1940–1948), and Austin College (1949–1952), compiling a career college football record of 155–130–33. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1954.

As a player, he was one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of Vanderbilt Commodores football. Morrison was selected as the quarterback and kick returner for an Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869–1919 era. He piloted the team to two Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) titles in 1910 and 1911. The 1910 team fought defending national champion Yale to a scoreless tie. Yale coach Ted Coy called Morrison "the greatest player I have seen in years." In 1911, Coy selected Morrison All-American and the Atlanta Constitution voted Vanderbilt the best backfield in the South.

He took over as coach at his alma mater Vanderbilt after the retirement of legendary coach Dan McGugin. Morrison was the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Coach of the Year in 1937. He was also the first head coach in the history of SMU Mustangs football, and helped popularize the forward pass in the Southwest with his "Flying Circus" teams, most notably when led by Gerald Mann.

Early years

Ray Morrison was born on February 28, 1885, in Sugar Branch, Indiana. Soon after the family moved to McKenzie, Tennessee, where Morrison attended school. He also spent a year at McTyeire School for Boys.

Vanderbilt University

To achieve funds for college, Morrison worked on a dredge boat on the Mississippi River for a year.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|pages=46}} Morrison won Bachelor of Ugliness for the class of 1912.

The 1908 squad was hampered by a wealth of sophomores, which McGugin with the help of halfback Morrison led to a 7–2–1 campaign,{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/fottballsgreates00pope#page/340/mode/2up|title=Football's Greatest Coaches|page=341|author=Edwin Pope|author-link=Edwin Pope|via=archive.org|access-date=March 8, 2015|year=1955}} {{Open access}} including a loss to rival Sewanee.

Morrison also played on the baseball team, moved to the outfield from catcher in his junior year, and back to catcher as a senior. The 1910 and 1912 teams won the SIAA. Morrison was captain of the 1912 team.

Coaching years

Morrison first taught and was athletics director at Branham & Hughes Military Academy in Spring Hill. Upon American entry into World War I, Morrison went to Fort Oglethorpe. In 1919, Morrison spent a year at Gulf Coast Military Academy as athletics director and teacher.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|page=48}}

=SMU=

Ray Morrison was the first head coach in the history of SMU Mustangs football.{{cite web|url=http://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/11/20/Ray-Morrison-Southern-Methodists-first-football-coach-died-the/5264406616400/|title=Ray Morrison, Southern Methodist's first football coach, died the ...}} He won just two games in two years from 1915 to 1916.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|page=47}}

==Return ==

In 1920, Morrison returned to SMU. He notably brought the forward pass to the southwest during his time at SMU.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_RqQQHqQdAAC&pg=PA101|title=Shaping College Football|isbn=9780815608868|last1=Schmidt|first1=Raymond|date=18 June 2007|publisher=Syracuse University Press }} Morrison was one of the first to pass not just on first down, but on first and second down too. His teams earned the nickname the "Flying Circus".

They won the 1923, 1926, and 1931 Southwest Conference (SWC) titles. An 18-game unbeaten streak was ended in the 1925 Dixie Classic, with a touchdown off a tipped pass for West Virginia Wesleyan's Gale Bullman, and a 30-yard field goal missed in the final minute. Morrison's best passer, Hall of Fame quarterback Gerald Mann, led the team to the 1926 title. The 1929 team was undefeated, but with four ties, including one with undefeated TCU to close the season.

=Vanderbilt=

He coached Vanderbilt in 1918 when McGugin left for the military, and led the Vanderbilt team to a 4–2 record. The team beat Tennessee 76–0, the largest margin of victory in the history of the rivalry. Former Nashville Banner sportswriter Fred Russell's book Fifty Years of Vanderbilt Football published in 1938, wrote:

"Salient after salient was wiped out by Gen. Morrison's forces and Tennessee's reinforcements could not check the tide. The retreat turned into a bloody, hopeless rout. Berryhill was cited for bravery for his wonderful outflanking the enemy, by which he took six positions (touchdowns) single-handedly. The result was 76−0."

Morrison was also the head basketball coach at Vanderbilt for one season in 1918–19, tallying a mark of 8–2, and the head baseball coach at the school in 1919, notching a record of 3–3.

==Return==

Upon the retirement of the legendary McGugin, Morrison was hand-picked as successor at his alma mater.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|page=49}} Morrison brought his own staff from SMU and neglected the retained Josh Cody's coaching abilities.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|page=72}}

Fred Russell offered this description of Morrison upon his arrival as coach of Vanderbilt:{{blockquote|A gentle, soft-spoken person who talks out of the side of his mouth with convincing firmness. Eyes with a permanent twinkle, tiny wrinkles about them when he smiles, but a set jaw that seems to enclose teeth constantly gritted tighter. A happy combination that blends austerity and affability into well-nigh perfect personality--that's the Ray Morrison of today who was known to Nashvillians twenty-five years ago as Vanderbilt's whirling quarterback.}}

Morrison's first team in his second stint finished second place in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), led by captain and SEC player of the year Willie Geny. The 1936 team was captained by Dick Plasman, the last NFL player to play without a helmet. The 1937 team upset LSU on a hidden ball trick, the school's first-ever victory over a ranked opponent (the AP Poll began in 1936).{{cite web|url=http://www.scout.com/college/vanderbilt/story/310898-flashback-hidden-ball-play-beat-lsu-in-1937|title=Flashback: Hidden-ball play beat LSU in 1937}}{{cite web|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1937/10/24/page/B5/article/vanderbilt-uses-trick-to-end-l-s-u-reign-7-6|title=VANDERBILT USES TRICK TO END L. S. U. REIGN, 7-6 (October 24, 1937)}} The team's captain was SEC player of the year Carl Hinkle and also featured Baby Ray. Morrison was awarded SEC Coach of the Year in 1937.{{Harvnb|Traughber|2011|page=50}}

=Temple=

After the 1939 season, Morrison resigned from his position at Vanderbilt to go to Temple,{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19400304&id=PzNdAAAAIBAJ&pg=1062,3245353&hl=en|date=March 4, 1940|title=Ray Morrison Is Temple University Grid Coach|work=Lawrence Journal-World}} with Cody as his line coach.
