For LSU (rumor)
And crystal football for the National championship (football) while he was president of the national coaches association
I have never seen the helmet but I hope it shows up one day-
The football was created for the bcs trophy-
McClendon was a creative guy

He was good friends with my grandfather and we have all sorts of one of a kind LSU items he gifted my family over the years.

And you’ve never met a nicer man. I grew up in the same neighborhood that he lived in, and his son played in our pickup football games. I drive past there today and look at that modest house and think about what schools are paying coaches now. Times have changed.

I’ll shoot you an email with the only item I have later. Most everything is still at my parents or spread out among family after my grandmother passed.

I was thinking while watching the Bengals game today, that since they basically owe everything to LSU, they should design an LSU-style helmet logo as well, using the design below.. then again, im old enough to remember when they switched to the striped helmet, and ive never liked it .

I live around the corner from coach macs house where his daughter lives now I think- it’s a great neighborhood and we love it.

Quite a few posters in that neighborhood. My Dad still lives in the house I grew up in. It’s a great neighborhood

There was a mock up of a tiger stripe helmet in the equipment room during Coach Stovall's first year as HC...Gold helmet, purple tiger stripes...pretty cool...

I was a Marine in Vietnam when LSU played Arkansas in the 1966 Cotton Bowl. I wrote Coach McClendon a letter telling him there were a lot of us pulling for a win.
He wrote me back, said he appreciated the support, and told me to drop by for a visit when I returned home.The Tigers won, and some Razorback Marines had to pay some bets.
In 1967 I dropped by and visited with the coach and introduced him to my new bride.
He was very gracious, and it was a big day for this longtime Tigers fan.
