Whitcomb Glenn Speer was an American football and basketball coach. He was the second head football coach for the Fort Hays State University Tigers located in Hays, Kansas and he held that position for four seasons, from 1915 until 1918. His career coaching record at Fort Hays was 18 wins, 6 losses, and 0 ties. This ranks him 11th at Fort Hays in total wins and second at Fort Hays in winning percentage.
