John Cherberg not only didn't win a lot of games at Washington, but he also brought controversy to the program. Cherberg started his time at Washington as a player and after graduating he joined the coaching staff. He became the head coach in 1953 and was in that position for three seasons.
Here is a breakdown of Cherberg's time with the Huskies.
- 1953: 3-6-1, 2-4-1 conference
- 1954: 2-6, 1-6 conference
- 1955: 5-4-1, 4-3-1 conference
Cherberg was fired in 1956 after a payoff scandal hit the school involving him and all of it led to NCAA sanctions. Cherberg was improving in his time at Washington, but due to the scandal was never able to show more and Washington was the end of his coaching career.
