Sad indeed! RIP Mr. Robinson.

This man was a pioneer in college football. He's the guy who opened the door to make it possible for black coaches -- in football, basketball, whatever -- to get their shot. He started it all and a was character guy to boot.

RIP, Eddie.

Responsible for over 200 NFL players. That's incredible. RIP Eddie.

possibly the best college coach ever. Grambling was a powerhouse back in the day.

RIP. He was a good man.

[WarEagle]

I can't imagine the numerous indignities he suffered on his many road trips around the South during those early years. He was a great man. RIP.
