1933 Johnson City Teachers football team

The 1933 State Teachers College, Johnson City Teachers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in the 1933 NCAA football season. It was the fourteenth season of East Tennessee State (Then known as State Teachers College, Johnson City) football. They were led by second-year head coach Gene McMurray, who was a graduate of Maryville College and Columbia University. He was one of few coaches in the South to hold a doctorate. Prior to coaching for the school, he coached at Erwin and Rockwood High Schools, and also spent three years at Milligan College. The 1933 team had by far best record of any team in the program's history with a 6-1-2 final record against the "hardest schedule ever attempted by the school".[1]
