Dan M. Nee

Daniel M. Nee Sr. (April 1, 1888 – June 9, 1952) was an American athlete, sports coach, lawyer, politician, and government administrator. Nee coached football, basketball, and track and field at Drury College—now known as Drury University—in Springfield, Missouri.

Nee was born April 1, 1888, in Thayer, Iowa. He played college football and college baseball at the University of Missouri. As a junior in the fall of 1909, Nee was ineligible to play for Missouri because he had played professional baseball that summer. Instead, he and his brother, John, coached the freshman football team.

Nee coached the basketball team at Drury from 1912 to 1917, compiling a record of 41–22 in five seasons. He resigned from his post at Drury in 1917 and became the assistant prosecuting attorney for Greene County, Missouri.

Nee was college of internal revenue for western Missouri from 1933 to 1948. He resigned in 1948 to run in the 1948 Missouri gubernatorial election, losing the Democratic Party primary to Forrest Smith. Nee died on June 9, 1952, at Saint Luke's Hospital in Kansas City.
