1936 Idaho Vandals football team
The 1936 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1936 college football season. The Vandals were led by second-year head coach Ted Bank, and were members of the Pacific Coast Conference. Home games were played on campus in Moscow at MacLean Field, with none in Boise. Idaho compiled a overall record and lost all four games in the PCC. In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, the Vandals suffered a ninth straight loss, falling at homecoming in Moscow on October 10. Idaho's most recent win in  the series was eleven years earlier in 1925 and the next was eighteen years away in 1954. Future coaches among the Vandal players included sophomores Tony Knap, Lyle Smith, and Steve Belko. Future athletic director Leon Green, grandfather of UI president Scott Green, played right end and was a team captain. This was the final season for varsity football at MacLean Field and its final game on November 21 was a Vandal win; grading began on the new stadium site to the west in late summer 1936, and it opened the following season as All-conference. No Vandals were named  to the All-Coast team; honorable mention were tackle Stonko Pavkov, guard John Cooper, halfback Clarence Devlin, and fullback Ross Sundberg.
