Bob Elliott -- Heaven's Team Has A Good One!
Coach Elliott lived in an apartment just down the block from our home -- we would cross paths every now and then when he would take his dog for a walk...
He was always smiling and willing to talk Notre Dame football with me -- what a very nice man. A man you would love to have coach your kids.
Here's what a few of his Notre Dame players had to say about Coach Elliott after learning about his passing last night.
A "ND Dad" is on College Football HOF Ballot!
His name is Terrell Buckley -- college and NFL football fans will remember his exploits:
- Received the Jim Thorpe Award & Jack Tatum Trophy in 1991 as the top Defensive Back in college football
- Florida State Seminoles' all-time career interception leader with 21
- #5 overall pick by the Green Bay Packers in the 1992 NFL Draft
- Played 14 years in the NFL
- Won a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots
Terrell has been at Notre Dame the last few days spending time with his daughter -- a rising sophomore in the College of Engineering. He's currently the defensive backs coach at Mississippi State University...
I had the good fortune, along with my ND colleague Drew Buscareno (the two are pictured above) to play golf with Terrell Saturday afternoon at Notre Dame's Warren Golf Course.
Terrell's a proud Dad -- and a member of the Notre Dame Family! I'll be rooting for him to get inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame -- see story below:
