I think you forgot someone.
Time to update the Body Count?
Also with Oklahoma.
Didn’t Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones play on that 1964 national championship team?
Assistant coaches who worked under Broyles included Hayden Fry, Joe Gibbs, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Majors and Barry Switzer. That’s an impressive legacy he had.
Well he’s with Darrell now. He announced his retirement near the end of the 1976 season. By the time Arkansas and Texas met at the end of that season, Royal had also decided to retire as well. Two classic coaches and gentlemen the likes of which will not be seen ever again.
Ill never forget “the game”. It was by far the biggest college game in history. James street thew to Randy Peshall. Most think he scored. He didn’t. He got a huge first down to the 11 and Texas thundered in for the win. President Nixon was in the Texas lockroom post game. Royal and Broyles were friends who honored each other through out their lives. Frank Broyles was grace in defeat and it was a bitter loss but he was a real man. not some flaming jack ass like casperdick.
Did they have a Frank Broyles statue? If so, it will soon It will be toppled.
I have long attributed a couple of key quotes to him. I heard them when he was doing yeoman work on TV after his coaching career.
1. Basketball is a contact sport; football is a COLLISION sport.
2. “Luck” is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
RIP.
I didn’t realize he was still alive but he was certainly an institution in Arkansas and around college football. I will always remember him walking off the field after Texas broke his heart in 1969 and was accompanied by his wife and children like any family man. It was so touching.
I’ll betcha Darrell Royal can’t wait to take Frank out to the golf course up there somewhere.
It is about the time of year Dad would get his Dave Campbell TEXAS FOOTBALL - the 50s-70s were great football.
