Bob DeMoss, the former quarterback and head coach of Purdue football, is one of hte most legendary names in our school’s football history. His tenure as head coach was short and unmemorable, as Purdue was a meager 13-18 under him from 1970-72 with two wins over rival Indiana, but before that he was basically the father of the Cradle of Quarterbacks.
Earlier today he passed away at the age of 90 according to Purdue Sports:
We lost one of the most loyal Boilermakers ever today. Our thoughts & prayers go out to the DeMoss family.
