Dan Arnold Killian (February 5, 1880 – January 15, 1953) was an American football and baseball coach. He served as the head football coach at Louisiana State University (LSU) from 1904 to 1906, compiling a record of 8–6–2.[1] Killian was also the head coach of the LSU baseball team from 1905 to 1906[2] (tallying a mark of 14–9), as well as head coach of the LSU Tigers track and field team from 1905 to 1906.[3] He also served as athletic director.[4]

Killian was a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he lettered as a shortstop in baseball in 1902.[5] He also reportedly played quarterback on the football team,[6] but if he did, he apparently did not qualify for a letter.[7]

In 1906 he left coaching "to do sporting work for a newspaper" in Chicago.[4]

He died in Lansing, Michigan in 1953.[8]
