He made the Bayou Classics I attended while a colleege student in New Orleans memorable. RIP.
Coach Eddie Robinson needs to be put in the very same category, if not on top, of the list of all-time great coaches and not only in college but coaching-wise period. We're talking about a man that when he started coaching, began with nothing. No assistants, no home stadium to play in and while playing on the road, he actually had to make sandwiches for his players to eat because at the time, most restaurants were "White Only" and all his players were black. Times may have changed but this is a man that helped mold some of the best NFL players that ever played the game and also the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl in Doug Williams. Rest in Peace, Coach.
I've always admired Coach Robinson, he carried himself with dignity and class. God rest his soul. R.I.P. Coach.
Truly a legend has passed and a great American.R.I.P. coach Robinson.
