Edward Eugene Tarr (May 2, 1880 – August 13, 1950)[1][2] was an American football and basketball coach.[3]

==Coaching career== Tarr was the head football coach at Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan. He held that position for the 1903 and 1904 seasons. His coaching record at Adrian was 7–6.[4] He was also coached at Mercer University for the 1906 season where he compiled a record of 2–3. He was Mercer's first paid coach.[5]

Tarr was a graduate of McDaniel College (then known as Western Maryland College) in 1903. He spent some time coaching in Alabama, Arkansas, and at the Carlisle Indian School.[6] He served as the head football coach at Little Rock Central High School in 1910.[7]

Tarr was initially hired to be the head football coach for the First District Agricultural School of Jonesboro, Arkansas—now known as Arkansas State University—but never coached a game after having to take a leave of absence to Philadelphia following his sister's illness.[8]
