Someone once asked him about his speed, his reply...
"I had deceptive speed, I was a lot slower than I looked!"

Why isn't his name along with Tommy Cassanova and Billy Cannon on a plaque in Tiger Stadium? A great LSU football All American who was a Heisman runner up.

I was attending LSU when he was the coach, and my take on him back then was that he was a HELL of a recruiter, a HELL of a man, but coaching was not his strong point. He left Arnsparger with a damn strong football team!! Hats off to Jerry Stovall, if there were more people like him in the world we would be a lot better off.

Stovall deserves every accolade possible. My 4 years at LSU were fall of 1980 through 1984, 'the Stovall years'.

Guy may have been too nice and decent to be a big time head coach. That's not a slap at Miles,Saban, or any of our other coaches.

Man is 100% first class. Congrats to Jerry.
