Coaching bio

For two decades, he was known as Mr. Coach in the Pacific Northwest. Bagshaw's roots were planted in Snohomish County, where he coached Everett High for 11 seasons and turned the Seagulls into a state and West Coast powerhouse. Nine of his teams were ranked No. 1 in the state. Twice, in 1919 and 1920, Everett High was named national champions in football, while he also coached basketball for 14 years at EHS. Bagshaw then went on to the University of Washington, where he had a 63-22-6 record and took the Huskies to two Rose Bowls over nine seasons. He retired from coaching in 1929 and died a few months later after suffering a heart attack. In 1980, he was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame.
