Thanks so much for posting. Though I was born in 1961 obviously after the great LSU-Ole Miss game with Billy Cannon's runback, my Mom and Dad always told me that Coach Dietzel was a special Tiger and I did get to meet him at a basketball game when I was a student at LSU and he was the AD. Thanks so much for the update .

Had the opportunity to talk to him a few times over the years and was a interesting guy to talk to...always very approachable and positive.
My thoughts and prayers are for him to be comfortable in the time he had left.
Prayers to his family as well.

Wanted to bump this in case some didnt know.
I sent a note, just thanking him for his time here. Might not have much time to do it so if you are inclined let coach know you're thinking about him

Wish him and his family the best. Fine man.

Didn't realize he was 29 when hired as HC.
Sad that he's sick but he's made it to 89 and hopefully he will recover.
And I feel stupid for not knowing he had a book.
I'm going grab it.

Dietzel left LSU after the 1961 season to take the head coaching job at West Point, and left behind some hard feelings after saying he would never coach anywhere but LSU.
From the linked article.
eta: I do wish him a speedy recovery.
