Thomas Anthony "Kitty" Gorman (June 9, 1910 – April 8, 1975)[1] was an American college football player and coach. Gorman starred as a prep at St. Philip's in Chicago, Illinois.[2][3] Gorman played center at University of Notre Dame on the freshman team in 1929[4] and on the varsity from 1930 to 1933.[5][6][7] He was one of the team's two captains in 1933.[8] During the 1933 season, Gorman's father wrote a letter to Notre Dame Vice President John Francis O'Hara, complaining that "[t]here is something radically wrong" with Hunk Anderson's coaching, blaming the younger Gorman for losses.[9] Anderson was fired after the 1933 season, the school's first losing season since 1888.

Gorman began his career at Notre Dame playing for famed coach Knute Rockne. James Bacon recounts a story implicating the mob in the Rockne's death that he heard with "Kitty" Gorman from Father John Reynolds when Bacon and Gorman were students at Notre Dame.[10][11][12][13]

After his college playing career, Gorman played in the first Chicago College All-Star Game, tying the Chicago Bears.[14]

Coaching career

Gorman began his coaching career as an assistant on the freshman team at Notre Dame, while pursuing his law degree.[15] Gorman left Notre Dame to serve as the line coach for former Notre Dame fullback Chet A. Wynne at Kentucky.[16] In 1938, Gorman accepted the line coach position under another former Irish football player, Marchmont Schwartz, at Creighton.[17] Gorman served as the head football coach at Washington University in St. Louis in 1942, compiling a career college football coaching record of 5–5. For the 1942 season, he hired two former Notre Dame players to assist him, Andy Pilney and Bud Kerr.[18]

Gorman accepted commission as a lieutenant in the United States Navy and served in World War II.[19] Washington University did not field a football team from 1943 to 1945 and offered Gorman his head coaching position for 1946 with no guarantee that there would be a season. He turned down the offer, due to disagreements with Chancellor Arthur Holly Compton, who emphasized a focus on education and opposed athletic scholarships.[20] Washington University did not play football in 1946, but the team returned for the 1947 season. Gorman left coaching after the war and began working for General Motors in Chicago.[21]
