John B. "Jack" McAuliffe was an American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at Marquette University in 1916 and at Catholic University from 1925 to 1929, compiling a career college football record of 25241.

Playing career

McAuliffe played college football at Dartmouth College from 1913 to 1915 under head coach Frank Cavanaugh. He was the captain of the team in 1915.[1] That season, McAuliffe was a second team selection by Walter Eckersall of the Chicago Tribune to the All-America Team.

Coaching career

McAuliffe was the 11th head football coach at Marquette University located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and he held that position for the 1916 season.[2] His coaching record at Marquette was 4 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. Since Marquette has discontinued its football program, this ranks him 13th at Marquette in total wins and ninth at Marquette in winning percentage (.563).[3] He continued on at Marquette as an assistant to John J. Ryan in 1917 and 1918. After serving as line coach at his alma mater, Dartmouth, in 1924 under head coach Jesse Hawley, McAuliffe was appointed as head football coach at Catholic University in June 1925. He was living in Fitchburg, Massachusetts at the time.[1]
