Joseph Gordon Holland (December 8, 1884 – December 8, 1955) was a college football and baseball player as well as baseball coach. He coached at his alma mater Clemson College in 1910, leading the Clemson Tigers baseball team to a 10–11 record. Holland was an All-Southern fullback for the football team in 1904, selected such by former Clemson coach John Heisman,[1] during a year in which he was a sophomore captain.[2] He missed both extra points against Georgia. Holland also played 7 seasons of minor league baseball, including 69 games for the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League in 1911.[3][4][5]
