the Alabama blog talks a bit more about it

apparently this guy was a real interesting part of sports history, head coaching several AFL teams and even becoming at one point president of teh New York Yankees. Apparently he is responsible for being the first man to give a black quarterback a real chance in the modern NFL to succeed.

RIP
