Elroy Simon "Guck" Guckert (May 17, 1900 – September 3, 1940) was an American football and basketball coach, college athletics administrator, and professor. He served as the head football coach at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan from 1925 to 1926, compiling a record of 8–6–2.[1] He was head basketball coach at Hillsdale for the 1925–26 season, tallying a mark of 5–9. Guckert was also Hilldale's athletic director and a professor of economics before leaving the school in February 1927 to attend Columbia University.[2]
A native of Sandusky, Ohio, Guckert attended Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where he played football as a back and baseball as a first baseman.[3][4][5] He coached football and basketball at Grand Rapids South High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan before succeeding fellow Denison alumnus Howard B. Jefferson as coach as Hillsdale in 1925.[6]
