Bohler coached college football, basketball, and baseball. His football stints include being the head coach at Willamette, Beloit, and Chico State.[3] While at Beloit he also served as the school's athletic director. He resigned in March 1929 because he disagreed with providing student-athletes with scholarship money, an opinion that began gaining support among Beloit's officials during his time as athletic director.[4] In basketball, Bohler coached at Beloit as well as for Humboldt State. His longest tenure for any team, however, was as the head baseball coach for Chico State, a position he held for 17 seasons. Chico State has since named their baseball field "Roy Bohler Field".[5] In his 17 years as Chico State's coach, he led them to seven conference championships.[5]
