He served as the head football and basketball coach for the Appalachian State Mountaineers located in the town of Boone in Watauga County, North Carolina.[1] Stewart also was head basketball coach at Furman University for two years.[2]

He joined the Appalachian State football staff in 1935 as an assistant coach. By 1940, he had taken over as athletic director.[4]

In 1941, he served as head football coach at Tampa for one season before resigning.[5]

Stewart became Maryland head basketball coach in 1947, after the longstanding tenure of Burton Shipley.
