Erk Russell Belongs in the College Football Hall of Fame

He's a legend as the last four-sport letterman at Auburn, a national champion defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia, and the three-time national champion and founder of the program at Georgia Southern. He deserves a spot in Atlanta.

The College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA is a fun trip for college football fans wandering around Atlanta. You can see the helmets from every football team in the nation, memorabilia from various events, watch video documentaries, and even try your hand at a few football skills, yourself.

What you won't find, among all of the legendary names, is mention of former Georgia Southern head coach Erskine "Erk" Russell.
