30 Years Ago Today

[Aubie16]

Coach Shug Jordan passed away. From the invasion of Normandy, to the sands of Okinawa, to the plains of Auburn, he was the true measure of a man. War Eagle Coach!

Who many would call the Godfather of Auburn football. Wasn't old enough to watch him coach but still respect him all the same.

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years. War Eagle, Shug!

We were gonna copy your argument about only having 8 National Championships but that would net you 7.

Tread lightly.  You don't want to chastise your own.

Dude, I was joking. Not a big deal.

What? I mean I don't even have a sister.

I was 13 at my first Iron Bowl in 1971. Coach Jordan was busy autographing material with Sullivan, Beasley and others and I was of course impressed with the atmospere. The final score was hurtful but the entire experience was good. Even then, I always thought Shug needed the AD title to really make his mark and that was possible during that era but never an option. From all accounts, he was a tough but fair leader that deflected attention and was always characterized as a gentleman of high integrity. The "Godfather of Auburn football" is a fitting tag.
