Charley Winner (born July 2, 1924) was a football coach whose professional and personal life was closely intertwined with that of Weeb Ewbank, another coach. Winner was born in Somerville, New Jersey, and during World War II flew 17 missions in a B-17 Flying Fortress plane, spending six weeks in a German prisoner of war camp. Upon his release from the service, he played running back at Washington University in St. Louis, where Ewbank was head coach. After Ewbank moved on to coach for the Cleveland Browns, Winner took an assistant position with nearby Case Tech, and also served as a scout for the Browns. In 1950, he also married Ewbank's daughter.
