Duffy Daugherty began his football career playing at Syracuse University, and was named captain of the football team in his senior year. Syracuse University (SU is a private research university located in Syracuse, New York. He joined the U.S. Army during World War II, earning the Bronze Star.

World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The Bronze Star Medal is a United States Armed Forces individual military decoration which may be awarded for bravery acts of merit or meritorious service
Upon his return from the war, he became an assistant coach at Syracuse under Clarence L. "Biggie" Munn. Clarence Lester "Biggie" Munn ( September 11, 1908 &ndash March 18, 1975) was a college football player and coach When Munn was hired to become the new head coach of MSU football for the 1947 season, Daugherty came with him. Munn's teams had a great deal of success, winning the AP National Championship in 1952, and the 1954 Rose Bowl in Michigan State's first season in the Big Ten Conference. The Rose Bowl Game is an annual American College football Bowl game, usually played on January 1 ( New Year's Day) at the Rose Daugherty continued to serve as an assistant coach until Munn retired to become Michigan State's athletic director after the 1953 season, at which point Daugherty became the new head coach, the 15th in the history of Michigan State football.
Michigan State Head Coach
It is at Michigan State where Daugherty developed his reputation as one of the greatest college football coaches of all time.
After finishing his first season in 1954 with a disappointing 3-6 record, his team was much better the following season. Though the Spartans finished second in the Big Ten in 1955 with an 8-1 record behind Ohio State, they received the invitation to the Rose Bowl instead of the Buckeyes, thanks to the conference's prohibition against repeat trips to the Rose Bowl in addition to the prohibition against appearing in any other bowl game. The Ohio State University ( OSU) is a Coeducational public Research university in the state of Ohio. At the game, the Spartans defeated UCLA 17-14, the second bowl win in school history. The University of California Los Angeles (generally known as UCLA) is a public research university located in Westwood Los Angeles, California, United
From 1956 to 1964, Daugherty's teams were usually good, but not quite good enough to win the Big Ten. They did, however, managed to beat Notre Dame eight straight times, a feat duplicated only by Michigan. The 1965 and 1966 seasons were the high points in Daugherty's coaching tenure, if not in the history of Michigan State football. The 1965 team finished the regular season 10-0, ranked first in the country. However, they were upset by UCLA in the 1966 Rose Bowl, 14-12, although they did win the UPI and National Football Foundation polls for the national championship. The 1966 Rose Bowl game played on January 1 1966 was the 52nd Rose Bowl game. Their defensive unit, known as the Wall of Steel, was the best in school history and arguably one of best of all time. In 1966, the team began 9-0 with convincing wins over its opponents headed into a matchup between #2 Michigan State and #1 Notre Dame at Spartan Stadium on November 19, 1966. The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre Dame) (ˌnoʊtɚˈdeɪm is a private Roman Catholic Research university located in Spartan Stadium (formerly College Field, Macklin Field and Macklin Stadium) opened in 1923 in East Lansing Michigan. In what many people have called "The Game of the Century", the game ended in a 10-10 tie. The phrase "Game of the Century" is a Superlative that has been applied to several College football contests played in the 20th century the first full century MSU won a share of the National Football Foundation national championship with Notre Dame. The Spartans did not play in a bowl game following the 1966 due to Big 10 rules in place at the time that did not allow a team to represent the conference in consecutive seasons in the Rose Bowl, and allowed no teams other than the one playing in the Rose Bowl to participate in post-season play.
Beginning with the 1967 season, there was a significant decline in the football program. Daugherty's teams were consistently hovering around the . 500 mark, with his 1971 squad the only one above that mark (6-5). Under pressure from MSU's administration, he retired after the 1972 season.
During Daugherty's time in East Lansing, he recruited and coached some of the best players in Michigan State's history. Those include Herb Adderley, Brad Van Pelt, Bubba Smith, George Webster, and Joe DeLamielleure. Herbert A Adderley (born June 8, 1939 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania) is a former American football Cornerback who played for the Brad Alan Van Pelt (born April 5, 1951 in Owosso Michigan) is a former American football Linebacker who played fourteen seasons the Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith (born February 28, 1945) is an American actor and former athlete George Webster may be referred to as George D Webster (American football George Webster (architect, born in Kendal in 1797 George Joseph Michael DeLamielleure (born March 16, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan) is a former American football Offensive lineman He was one of the first coaches to field an integrated team.
To honor his accomplisments at Michigan State, the university named the football team's practice facility the Duffy Daugherty Football Building. The Duffy Daugherty Memorial Award is presented annually to a person for lifetime achievement and outstanding contribution to amateur football. He was also elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1975. The College Football Hall of Fame, located in South Bend Indiana, USA is a hall of fame and museum devoted to College football.
Raised as a Presbyterian, Daugherty converted to Catholicism in 1964.
