About Charles Mosley

Lived 1888 – 1968 (aged 80). Charles Mosley was an American baseball player and basketball coach.

Charles Philip "Bubs" Mosley (March 24, 1888 – August 25, 1968) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach, sports administrator, and educator. He served as the head football coach at Baylor University from 1914 to 1919 and Wichita Falls Junior College—now Midwestern State University—from 1924 to 1925. Mosley was also the head basketball coach at Baylor from 1914 to 1920, tallying a mark of 28–65, and the school's head baseball coach from 1914 to 1919, amassing a record of 47–60.

As the head football coach at Baylor, Mosley compiled a 30–18–4 (.615) record in six seasons. His 1916 team ranked as one of the best in school history. The Bears finished the season 9–1, with wins over Texas, and Oklahoma A&M. The team's only loss that season was by three points to Texas A&M. The Bears outscored opponents 315–27 during the season, winning seven of the games by 15 points or more.

In 1915, Mosley managed Fort Smith Twins of the Western Association. He resigned in early August and was succeeded by Ted Schultz. In 1931, Mosley was hired as an assistant coach at Allen Academy in Bryan, Texas under head coach Puny Wilson. He also coached at Rusk College in Rusk, Texas and was president of the East Texas Baseball League for three years. In 1941, Mosely joined the faculty at Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, Texas. The following year, he was appointed as physical education director and head coach of all sports at the school.

A native of Sulphur Springs, Texas, he died on August 25, 1968, at a hospital in Tyler, Texas, after a long illness.
