The Loss of a Hero
Yesterday we loss one of the greatest football coaches to ever lead a team in college football. The former coach of Grambling State University in Louisiana had the second most wins EVER in college football (408), sent almost 200 players to the NFL including 4 hall of famers and 1 Superbowl MVP winner, and most importantly he graduated over 80% of his players from college professing that his players won't only be good at football when they leave...they will be good at what comes in life.

Aww man! He died? I thought he was just hospitalized! This is sad.
He was a GREAT coach. This should not go without some sort of large-scale tribute. He did a LOT for young black athletes!
He passed away late last night. They were saying alot about it today on ESPN but if you didn't catch sportscenter then you missed it. I felt like i had to say something about it man.
wow I had never heard of him until now, I am definitely going to look him up and use him in our History piece in Kiamsha...he sounds like a remarkable coach, but more importantly MAN!
Thanks for dropping that knowledge
