In August 1919, Arkansas hired Craig, a former All-American halfback at Michigan, as the school's athletic director and football and baseball coach. Craig had recently returned from military service in France.[3][4] Under Craig's leadership, the Razorbacks football team suffered its first losing season since 1914. Craig served only one year, announcing his resignation in March 1920, effective at the end of the college year.[5]
