Southeastern Louisiana University Athletics

E.L. "Ned" McGehee led Southeastern to its first-ever perfect season as head coach of the 1946 football team that finished 9-0. McGehee coached the Lions on the gridiron for five seasons and was a long-time Athletic Director for Southeastern retiring in 1971. He also served a head coach for baseball and men's tennis. One of the most beloved figures in Southeastern Athletic history, E.L. "Ned" McGehee Drive on campus was dedicated in his honor in 2012.
