Richard R. "Bud" Daugherty (April 15, 1890 – September 12, 1937) was an American football coach. He was the head coach at Albion College from 1926 to 1935. Daugherty's overall record in 10 years as the head coach at Albion was 37–34–6.[1] In 1928, he led Albion to an Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship and an undefeated 8–0 record.[1] The team went 0–6–2 in 1935. In January 1936, Daugherty announced his resignation as the school's football coach following criticism from alumni over the team's lack of success.[2] Daugherty was also Albion's athletic director and coached the baseball, basketball,[3] and track teams. His Albion teams won one MIAA championship in baseball and four in track.[2]
Daugherty later became the business manager for movie star Mae West. He died in 1937 at his home in Los Angeles.[4]
