LaVell Edwards had some good one-liners.
Edwards died Thursday after a number of medical complications. The coach, who guided BYU from 1972 to 2000, bringing the school a national championship in 1984, changed the game of football, according to college football coaches.
Former BYU players reflected positively on the coach’s unique ability to remember each player and help him grow.
Steve Young, a former NFL star who played under Edwards at BYU, said the BYU coach always connected with those on his team, according to ESPN.
"The No. 1 quality that coach had was a gift — I'm going to say it was from heaven — that he had the ability to look at you and get a sense of you and be able to have a vision for your future.
