In January 1924, coach Rutherford resigned as the school's football coach and director of athletics, effective at the end of his contract July 1. According to the Corvallis Gazette-Times, it had been "an open secret" that the alumni had been active in opposing Rutherford's retention. In four seasons under Rutherford, the Aggies had an overall record of 13–14–6 (.485) and were 4–10–3 (.324) in conference play.
