Albert J. Gebert (July 30, 1906 – December 4, 1980) was an American football player and coach. He served as the 16th head football coach at the University of Wichita—now known Wichita State University—in Wichita, Kansas and he held that position for 12 seasons, from 1930 until 1941. His record at Wichita was 68–40–6.[1]
A native of Jacksonville, Illinois, Gebert attended Routt Catholic High School.[2] He played football at the University of Notre Dame under coaching great Knute Rockne and was one of the first coaches to gather upon the announcement of his death.[3][4] He was named one of Rockne's "Notre Dame All Stars" and played in the final game that Rockne was head coach.[5]
