Cox was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After playing as a tackle at the University of Minnesota from 1922 to 1924, he was hired as football and basketball coach at River Falls State in 1925.[3] Cox joined Tulane in 1927 as the coach of their freshmen football players, working under head football coach and fellow Minnesota alumnus, Bernie Bierman.[4] Cox was promoted to coaching Tulane's linemen in 1929, and became the head coach before the 1932 season.[2] He compiled a 28–10–2 record as head coach of the Green Wave. His 1934 team went 10–1, won a share of the Southeastern Conference championship, and defeated the Temple Owls in the Sugar Bowl. In 1935, despite posting a winning record at 6–4, he was fired.[5][6] From 1936 to 1938, he coached at Oklahoma A&M, and compiled a 7–23 record.[7]
