Daniel Martin Coughlin (June 9, 1897 – January 8, 1963) was an American football player. A native of Faribault, Minnesota, he played college football for St. Thomas and Notre Dame and professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a back for the Minneapolis Marines.
Playing for Notre Dame, a knee injury derailed Coughlin's 1920 season.[1] Coughlin gained notoriety for his play in the 1921 season, where he played on both sides of the ball.[2] He also played basketball and was on the track team at Notre Dame.[3] Coughlin joined a club team in Duluth, Minnesota and also coached the Cathedral High School football team in 1922.[4]
He appeared in two NFL games, both as a starter with the Minneapolis Marines, during the 1923 season.[5] In 1924, Coughlin, then residing in Waseca, Minnesota, was recruited by the Duluth Kelleys.[6]
Coughlin studied journalism at Notre Dame.[7]
