Cubs College of Coaches
Attached is a wire photo of the College of Coaches as it stood in February of 1961. In comparison to what Home Free posted, this photo includes John Fitzpatrick and Joe Macko, and excludes Lou Klein and Dick Cole.
John Fitzpatrick never coached for the Cubs. He did manage the Cubs' Class D minor league affiliate in the Appalachian League in 1961. Joe Macko managed the Cubs in 1964 as a member of the College of Coaches.
Lou Klein had been a Cubs coach in 1960 and continued in that role in 1961, so I have no idea why he was missing from this photo. Dick Cole did not appear as a Cubs coach until August of 1961. He finished the year with them.
