Oliver Davis Mann (December 10, 1877 – July 9, 1956) was an American football player and coach. A native of Danville, Illinois, he attended Rutgers College, graduating in the Class of 1901. He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights from 1897 to 1900.[1][2] The New York Times wrote that Mann "for three years was the Captain of the best team Rutgers College ever had on the gridiron."[3] He was also Rutgers' head football coach in the 1903 and 1905 seasons. In two seasons as head coach, Mann compiled a record of 7–10–1.[4] He later resided in Danville, Illinois.[2][5][6][7] In a draft registration card completed at the time of World War I, Mann indicated that he was a self-employed lawyer in Danville.[8] He died in July 1956 and was buried at the Spring Hill Mausoleum in Danville.
