James Gleason Dunn, (Jimmy Conzelman) (March 6, 1898 - August 5, 1970) was a former professional football player and coach in the National Football League. He was the head coach of the Chicago Cardinals. A halfback at Washington University in St. Louis, he began his post-college career as a member of the Great Lakes Navy team that won the 1919 Rose Bowl. One of his Great Lakes teammates was George Halas, who recruited him for his 1920 Decatur Staleys team in the newly formed American Professional Football Association, which later changed its name to the National Football League. After one season with the Staleys, Conzelman moved on to the Rock Island Independents, where he began his career as a player-coach.
