Eddie Robinson dies at 88

RUSTON, LA (AP) -- Eddie Robinson, who sent more than
200 players to the NFL and won 408 games during a 57-year
career, has died. He was 88.

Robinson's was a career that spanned 11 presidents, several
wars and the civil-rights movement.

His older records were what people remembered: in 57 years,
Robinson set the standard for victories, going 408-165-15.

"The real record I have set for over 50 years is the fact that I
have had one job and one wife," Robinson said.

in this day and age, the word great gets tossed around a lot.

but, he was a GREAT man.

it's sad to hear he finally succumbed to an awful disease.

at least he's at peace now.

What a huge loss. He did do amazing things for football. What's so impressive is that he sent over 200 players to the NFL. That tells you something about how good he is as a coach
