Eddie Robinson 1919-2007

Eddie Robinson, former head coach of Football at Grambling, has passed away. Eddie coached football nearly as long as the modern game has existed. He also decided not to recruit 2 of the best players on my high school team after meeting them (despite FSU, SC, and Georgia offering them both), which means he was probably a man of excellent judgment and character.

Robinson owns career records that no amount of virgin sacrifices could help Joe Paterno break.

Robinson was brought in to speak to ND players in 1999. So at least Bob Davie got that right.
