As a UGA fan and someone whose parents and grandparents spoke very highly of the man, my condolences go out to his family and everyone in the Tiger nation.

Here's the link to his wiki page for those of us that are a bit too young to remember.

Paul Dietzel (born September 5, 1924) is a former American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator.

Dietzel's 1958 LSU team concluded an 11–0 season with a win over Clemson in the Sugar Bowl and was a consensus national champion.

Dietzel also served as the athletic director at South Carolina (1966–1975), at Indiana University Bloomington (1977–1978), and at LSU (1978–1982).

His handprint on LSU football is unmistakable. He coached the Tigers to their first modern day national championship in 1958. The famed Chinese bandits and his three-team platoon system were his creation. What came to be the LSU look, virtually unchanged since 1955, was his idea.
It was Dietzel who thought up uniforms of yellow gold helmets and pants and white jerseys with purple numerals and stripes.

National Championship in 1958 and was 10-1 in 1961 and was awarded a National Championship which LSU does not claim. Chinese Bandits and the LSU Modern Day Uniforms.
