HPL: Huey P. Long??


Don't laugh too hard. While Governor, Long housed a few of the players at the then Governor's Mansion. He picked their brains about the game of football, and started diagramming his own plays on a blackboard. Some of those players who went on to coaching actually fessed up to using a few of those plays when they were coaching. Don't have a link. Was noted in one of the earlier books on the history of LSU Football.

This and the reports that he used to send messages to the sidelines during games as to which players to play and what plays to run are why I made the suggestion.
