Paul L. Roach (born October 24, 1927) is a former American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at the University of Wyoming from 1987 to 1990. While there, he compiled a 35–15 record, had a .700 winning percentage, highest in school history,[1] and two seasons of ten or more wins (1987–1988). During that time he also served as the school's athletic director, and won two Western Athletic Conference championships. In both those years, he won WAC Coach of the Year honors, and was a two-time finalist for National Coach of the Year.
