Robert P. "Bert" Wilson was an American football player and coach. He played football for Wesleyan University and was captain of the school's football team in 1896.[1] After graduating, he served as Wesleyan's first head football coach from 1898 to 1902. In five years as Wesleyan's coach, Wilson compiled a record of 25–21–2.[2] In his first two years as the coach, Wesleyan compiled records of 7-3 and 7-2. In the 17 years before Wilson took over as the coach, Wesleyan' football team had never won seven games in a single season.[3] In 1903, Wilson became the head football coach at New York University (NYU).[4] He served the sixth head football coach at (NYU) and held that position for one seasons, in 1903, leading the NYU Violets to a record of 2–5.[5]
