John Houston McIntosh (February 1, 1879 – July 14, 1925) was an American college football player and coach, college athletics administrator, lawyer, and newspaper editor. He served as the head football coach at Colorado Agricultural College (now known as Colorado State University) from 1904 to 1906 and the Agricultural College of the State of Montana (now known as Montana State University) from 1908 to 1910. McIntosh was a star athlete at the University of Georgia in the late 1890s, and later moved west to coach football.
McIntosh moved west to New Mexico and continued his practice as a lawyer.[1] After one season at the Colorado School of Mines, McIntosh became the first athletic director at Colorado State.[1] He was then athletic director and professor of English at Montana State College.[1]
