The team began the season with new head coach George McCaa,[3] but he resigned on October 9, after three games had been played, to become supervisor of athletics and assistant football coach at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania.[4] Coaching of the team for the next two games is unclear—some contemporary sources named Joseph Courtney,[5] apparently hired and quickly dismissed,[6][c] but Courtney is believed to have been coach of the 1911 Boston College football team for the entire season. New Hampshire's athletic association hired Ray B. Thomas, who had coached the 1910 New Hampshire football team, to coach the final two games of the season.[6][d]
