He was one of a kind. RIP Coach.
RIP Coach Robinson.
College Football Ping.
Mega prayers. What a legend.
I heard Doug Williams on the ESPN Mike & Mike show this morning give a great tribute to an amazing man.
Godspeed Coach. We’ll miss you.
Damn shame. Fine man, fine coach. If you or I could touch as many lives as positively we could rest on our laurels. The squad of great coaches in Heaven just got bigger.
Why was he “forced” to retire? Seems like the administration was un-grateful..............
my high school years were 1970-1974 and I remember watching a saturday game ‘ tween Grambling and Southern,both African American schools. Besides the game, watching the bands get down at halftime was amazing (the ole Booker T Washington high step stuff)...........anyway...... it came a severe rain storm killing the lights for 12 minutes. When power returned it was hillarious. The 10.20.30 yard markers on the sidelines were two black numbered mudflap looking things and the lines were like baseball chalk. Well the sideline markers were ripped off and gone,all of em and the chalk lines were washed away......that 2nd half took a month to play cause every play was challenged as a first down.
It was flat out hillarious to watch
He was a champion in every sense of the word, raised back before blacks were told America hated them and owed them something. He took life’s hardships and used them to make himself better instead of turning them into an excuse then taught thousands of young people the lessons he’d learned.
RIP, Coach Robinson.
If only there were more Eddie Robinsons and fewer Jesse Jacksons.
