Friends Remember Coach Eddie Robinson

By: Maria Vallejo

Updated: April 4, 2007

Robinson was a man known for more than his wins on the field. He also had a gift for turning young adults into successful professionals and people. Robinson's commitment to education was instrumental in raising scholarship money to help students who didn't have the means to pay for college get an education. As a tribute to all his contributions there are plans in the works to set up a museum in his honor at Grambling university, so students for years to come can pay tribute to the legendary coach.
