W. T. Henry was an American football coach, and the fourth head coach of Harding College, in 1927. The season was a disastrous 0-8-1.[1]
The season began with only three of the previous year's players showing up for practice. One of those was fourth-year player Clyde "Doc" Matthews, who was the "player/coach" from the year before.
