Frank F. Ellis was the third head football coach of the Sagebrushers (later known as the Wolf Pack) at Nevada State University—now known as the University of Nevada, Reno. His tenure, as with his predecessors, lasted one season.
Ellis, from the University of California, Berkeley, was brought in by the university to coach the 1898 season.
