He served as the head football coach at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas from 1922 to 1926, at the University of Oklahoma from 1927 to 1931, and at the University of Kansas from 1932 to 1938, compiling a career college football record of 66–64–16.

Early life

As part of the occupation force after the Armistice, Lindsey played right halfback for the 89th Division squad that won the AEF football championship in March 1919. Bob Higgins, Paul Withington, Charles Gerhardt and George Clark were also members of the squad.
