Courtright took a post as head coach at Colorado School of Mines.[3] Courtright compiled a 26–13–7 record in five seasons as Nevada's head football coach.

Bill Gutteron played quarterback for the Wolf Pack from 1923 to 1925. He later played quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Los Angeles Buccaneers.
