James Raymond Haygood (July 20, 1882 – January 18, 1935) was an American football player, coach of football, basketball, and track, and college athletics administrator. He played for Dan McGugin's first Vanderbilt Commodores football team in 1904. Haygood served as the head football coach at Henderson-Brown College—now known as Henderson State University—from 1907 to 1918 and again from 1920 to 1924, at Florida Southern College from 1925 to 1927, and at Southwestern University—now known as Rhodes College—from 1931 to 1934.[1]

A native of Waverly, Tennessee, Haygood played college football at Vanderbilt University as quarterback in 1904 and 1905, on teams coached by Dan McGugin.[2] He died of a heart attack, on January 18, 1935, in Little Rock, Arkansas.[3]
