== Coaching career ==
Pyle replaced Jack Forsythe as the Florida head football coach, and he held that position for five seasons, from 1909 to 1913.〔College Football Data Warehouse, All-Time Coaching Records, ( G.E. Pyle Records by Year ). Retrieved March 1, 2010.〕〔''( 2012 Florida Football Media Guide )'', University Athletic Association, Gainesville, Florida, pp. 107, 115, 116 (2011). Retrieved September 16, 2012.〕 During that period, he accumulated a 26–7–3 record and a 0.764 winning percentage,〔 making him the third winningest coach in school history after Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer.〔〔College Football Data Warehouse, ( Florida Coaching Records ). Retrieved February 23, 2009.〕 In 1911, Pyle led Florida to its first and only undefeated season when the newly named Gators posted a 5–0–1 record.〔Antonya English, "( 100 things about 100 years of Gator football )," ''St. Petersburg Times'' (August 27, 2006). Retrieved February 9, 2009.〕
In 1912, Florida posted a 5–2–1 record.〔 After the season, the team participated in its first post-season game, the Bacardi Bowl held in Havana, Cuba. It was actually a two-game series against different Cuban athletic clubs. The first game was played on December 25 under the so-called "old rules" that existed before the American football reforms of 1906. In that game, Florida defeated the Vedado Tennis Club, 28–0.〔College Football Data Warehouse, ( 1912 Game by Game Record ). Retrieved February 23, 2009.〕 On December 30, Florida played the Cuban Athletic Club of Havana under the "new rules." According to one source, the game's referee was a former coach for the Cuban team, and the officiating was blatantly biased. After two Florida touchdowns were nullified by questionable officiating, Pyle protested a fifteen-yard penalty. When the referee offered a five-yard penalty instead, Pyle and his team left the game in protest.〔Floyd Conner, ( ''Football's Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of the Great Game's Outrageous Characters, Fortunate Fumbles, and Other Oddities'' ), Brassey's, Dulles, Virginia, pp. 191–192 (2000). Retrieved March 1, 2010.〕 Another source states that the game ended late in the first quarter after a fight broke out between the teams; Florida accused the Cuban team of still playing under "the old rules."〔 Regardless of the reason for the forfeiture, Pyle was arrested by the Cuban authorities.〔 He was charged with violating a law that prohibited a game's suspension after money had been collected.〔"( Football Row in Havana; Florida University Students Hooted for Breaking Up Game )," ''The New York Times'', p. S1 (December 29, 1912). Retrieved July 31, 2010.〕 After his trial was delayed, Pyle and the Gators left the island country,〔 which caused him to be branded a "fugitive from justice."〔
