The 1903 Vanderbilt Commodores football team represented Vanderbilt University during the 1903 college football season. After the last game of the 1902 year, Walter H. Watkins announced his resignation of his position as head coach of the Vanderbilt football and baseball teams in order that he devote attention to the study of law exclusively. Vanderbilt made an effort to secure the services of coach Neil Snow, who was the University of Nashville (Peabody) coach.[1] J. H. Henry, not Neil Snow, coached Vanderbilt for one season in 1903. His squad finished the season with a 6–1–1 record. Dan McGugin followed in 1904 and stayed in Nashville for 30 seasons as head coach. McGugin coached the most victories in Vanderbilt's history (197–55–19).
