Kenneth “Jack” Mollenkopf (November 24, 1905 – December 4, 1975) was a head football coach at Purdue University from 1956 until 1969. Prior to this he had served as an assistant coach at Purdue from 1947 to 1955 under Stu Holcomb.
During his time at Purdue, Mollenkopf would become the winningest head coach in the program's history, a record that he still holds as of 2007. He also won the school's first Rose Bowl in 1966 and put together a 10-4 record against Notre Dame.
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988.
