If this had been anyone but Bobby Dodd, I would’ve written a completely new profile. However, seeing as we’ve had quite a number of features written on his life in this space over the past two years, it might make the most sense, and be the most thorough, just to dive back in by putting all of those in one space.
First, we have the life and times of Bobby Dodd from his birth until he succeeded his mentor, Coach William Alexander, as the head football coach at Georgia Tech. After being a high school multi-sport star, he would struggle to find a school he could get into after having been an academic potato for his four-to-six years of tearing up the hills of eastern Tennessee and western Virginia on the gridiron.
