Goodbye, Coach Rob…

Former Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson passed away overnight after a recent battle with Alzheimer’s. He was 88-years old.

allCanesBlog.com extends its deepest sympathies to the Robinson family, his former players and all those who looked up to this college football legend. This is a Miami Hurricanes blog, but we’re also college football fanatics and realize the impact this legendary coach had on the game. He deserves to be acknowledged and remembered.

Robinson was Grambling’s coach for 56 years from 1942 to 197. He was the first college head coach to total 400 wins and completed his career with 408-165-15. Coach Rob sent over 200 players to the NFL in his half a decade plus career.

Rest in peace, Coach Rob.
