RIP to a legend
He is largely responsible for ending the “big 2, little 8” paradigm in the big ten

The man was a Marine and a great coach. RIP coach and scratch where it itches.

May the visiting pink locker rooms live on forever.

Man, a lot of these great college football coaches tend to live a very long life. Bobby Bowden's still alive at 90, Vince Dooley's still alive at 87, Gagliardi died last year at 91, and Eddie Robinson died when he was at 88. I won't be surprised if Saban lives until he's 100.

It sucks that he passed right before Christmas, but 90 is still a good run

RIP... He was an incredibly under-appreciated coach. His coaching tree is still making waves in college football.

No way. Not with that temper.

Best coach in Minnesota State history.

Remember him for using "Stand up Tight Ends".

I expect nothing less from a GAY&M poster, no shame whatsoever

This guy doesn’t get it.
The 3 titles are most of that tenure behind OSU and Michigan, yes?
I’d expect an Ag to recognize a coach from Texas with a highly successful career, but I guess not.

So what? I'm not saying he was a bad coach. I'm questioning the claim he ended the idea that the Big 10 was a two team conference. Michigan State (2), Illinois (2), Northwestern (2), Wisconsin (2), and Penn State (1) all outright won or tied for the conference championship in the time he was there.
