Timeline

1912

Millard Fleming "Dixie" Howell (November 24, 1912 – March 2, 1971) was an American football and baseball player and coach.

1928

It was Idaho's second-ever football victory over a PCC team from California, following a victory over first-year UCLA in 1928.

The Vandals also knocked off an undefeated Utah in the season finale in Boise.

The Vandals drew a Palouse and state record crowd to Neale Stadium for their annual rivalry game with Washington State in October, albeit a close 7–0 loss to the Cougars.

1932

He played college football as a halfback at the University of Alabama from 1932 to 1934 and with the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL) in 1937.

Born in Hartford, Alabama, Howell graduated from Geneva County High School in Hartford and played college football as an undersized (160 lb) quadruple-threat back at Alabama from 1932 to 1934.

1934

As a senior, the Crimson Tide ran the Notre Dame Box offense, and he was a consensus All-American in 1934, as well as one of the nation's top punters.

The 1934 Alabama team had two future legends as ends: Don Hutson and Bear Bryant.

1935

He also coached at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1935.

The Crimson Tide posted a 10–0 record, and defeated previously unbeaten Stanford 29-13 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, 1935.

Howell threw two touchdown passes to Hutson and ran for two more; he is a member of the all-time Rose Bowl team.

Howell also played baseball for the Crimson Tide and originally indicated he would finish out the college baseball season in 1935 and turn pro that June.

Plans changed and he signed a professional baseball contract with the Detroit Tigers

While pursuing his baseball career, Howell coached football in his autumn off-seasons; in Mexico City in 1935 with the American football team of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and as an assistant at Loyola University in New Orleans in 1936.

1936

The Redskins had lost the NFL championship game in 1936 to Green Bay, but returned to the title game in 1937 and defeated the Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field.

Howell was a reserve quarterback for the Redskins, behind starter Sammy Baugh.

In 1936 he played with Portland in the Pacific Coast League, then was moved to Toledo in the American Association.

His career tailed off and he spent the rest of his baseball career in lower leagues.

1937

In 1937, Howell briefly played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins, who had just relocated from Boston.

Following a season in the NFL in 1937, he was hired as head coach at the Arizona State Teachers College in Tempe, and stayed for four seasons (1938–1941) with the Bulldogs, with two conference titles and two appearances in the Sun Bowl.

1938

Howell served as the head football coach at Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe, now Arizona State University, from 1938 to 1941 and at the University of Idaho from 1947 to 1950, compiling a career coaching record of 36–35–5 in college football.

He became a collegiate head coach in 1938 and ended his football playing career.

1941

He was a finalist for the open job at Idaho in 1941 to succeed Ted Bank, which went to Francis Schmidt, then resigned his position at Tempe in the spring of 1942 and joined the U.S. Navy as a physical training instructor for naval aviators.

1942

in early March and played minor league baseball through 1942.

A month after signing, he was hospitalized after being struck in the head by a foul line drive; it occurred during batting practice before an April exhibition game in Virginia, off the bat of Johnny Mize.

1945

He served until his discharge as a lieutenant commander in November 1945, then returned to Tuscaloosa in January 1946 as an assistant football coach (backs) and head baseball coach for the Crimson Tide.

1946

After service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he did not return as a player and became the head coach at Alabama in January 1946 and resigned in March 1947 to become head football coach at Idaho.

1947

Howell was hired as head football coach at Idaho of the Pacific Coast Conference in February 1947, and guided the usually-struggling Vandals to a promising 4–4 record in his first season in Moscow, Idaho's best since 1938.

The Vandals beat Stanford on the road, a team that had defeated them 45–0 the previous year (but went winless in 1947).

1948

The progress did not continue, as the Vandals opened the 1948 season with four losses and went 3–6 overall and 1–5 in conference, defeating only Montana for the Little Brown Stein.

Idaho played Washington State close at Rogers Field in Pullman and gave Oregon a scare in Moscow.

The Webfoots, with Norm Van Brocklin and John McKay, went 7–0 in conference and were co-champions with California.

1949

Howell's relationship with Idaho fans and the administration was strained following the 1949 season.

The Vandals went 3–5 and 1–4 in conference that season, defeating only departing Montana again.

Their two non-conference wins were against overmatched opponents Willamette and Portland, and the Vandals were severely outscored 230–45 in their five losses, capped by a 63–0 loss at Stanford to end the season.

1950

These promising factors earned Howell a two-year contract extension through 1950.

Howell felt compelled to publicly deny rumors in April that he would leave before the 1950 season.

The Vandals posted a 3–5–1 record in 1950 and 1–1–1 in conference, and Howell's contract was not renewed in March 1951.

1970

Howell was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1970.

He also played professional baseball in eight minor league seasons following college.
