Garland Augustus "Gus" Morrow (February 14, 1899 – November 4, 1987) was an American college football and college basketball player and coach.

Vanderbilt

"Gus" played both sports for Vanderbilt University, including football under Dan McGugin. He was also on the track team. Morrow played basketball at Vanderbilt under later Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Wallace Wade.

Football

1922

Morrow was a starter for the scoreless tie with Michigan at the inauguration at Dudley Field in 1922. "Thousands of cheering Vanderbilt fans inspired the surge of center Alf Sharp, guard Gus Morrow, tackle Tex Bradford, and end Lynn Bomar, who stopped Michigan cold in four attempts." As a player Morrow weighed 175 pounds.

Basketball

1922-23

The 1922-23 team went 16–8, beating the LSU Tigers but losing to the Virginia Tech Hokies in the SIAA tournament. An account of the LSU game reads: "Either Vanderbilt was in rare form or L.S.U. has a good fighting team with no shooting ability. Fans were treated to the most one-sided contest of opening day when these two clubs met, the Commodores scoring 13 points before the Louisianans had counted once, winning 36 to 10." Morrow scored 4 points.

Coaching

He was then an assistant for McGugin from 1927 to 1932. Morrow served as the head basketball coach at Vanderbilt from 1929 until 1931. He again coached the Vanderbilt basketball team from 1944 to 1946.

Cumberland

Morrow was hired at Cumberland as a coach in 1932, and was elected to the Cumberland Sports Hall of Fame in 1978.

Cincinnati

He was freshman coach for the Cincinnati Bearcats under Russ Cohen.
