George Emanuel Toomey[1][2] was the head coach of the Colorado State college football program from 1900. Toomey lasted one full season as head football coach at Colorado Agricultural College (Colorado State) and was forced to resign following a scandal in 1901 regarding his playing a professional player. He graduated from Denver University in 1898, where he was a member of the baseball team, the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and leader of the glee club. His hometown was Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, and he had previously attended Baker University.[3][4] In 1900, Toomey had also been named professor of Oratory at Colorado State.

He later returned to Kansas where he was an evangelist.[5] He died around 1932.[6]
