Eddie Robinson is the Greatest Football Coach! Period... July 26, 2012 By Kenneth Miller LA Watts Times Correspondent Just as the Joe Paterno statue was being removed in the middle of the night from Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley and while the NCAA was leveling the Penn State football program with the most severe penalties in the history of collegiate sports, officials in the small town of Grambling, La were petitioning to restore the legendary Eddie Robinson as the all time victory leader in college football. According to a recently published article in USA Today, Cynthia Breedlove, an attorney for the city of Grambling, petitioned to the NCAA to vacate some of Paterno’s wins in hopes of getting Robinson restored as the recordholder. She did so with the backing of Grambling Mayor Edward Jones. Then on Monday, when the NCAA wiped out 111 wins from Paterno, Jones said the city was "elated" that Robinson has the record back. But he said the city's foremost thoughts were with the victims of the abuse, adding, "It's our prayer that everyone involved will heal." The mayor said the petition was never meant to alter the NCAA process, just to voice the city's position. www.lawattstimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=286&catid=21&Itemid=114
