In February 1925, Elton Rynearson was appointed as Michigan State Normal's director of sports. He previously played and coached football at the school, but left in 1920 to pursue advanced studies at the University of Michigan.[2] He also served as Michigan State Normal's head football coach from 1925 to 1948. In the six years after Rynearson's return as head coach (1925-1930), the football team compiled a 40-4-2 record.
