A goddamn animal and one hell of a football coach. The architect of the Dooley-era Dawgs defense, and the man who turned GA Southern into a national powerhouse.



RIP Erk

I always find it crazy when people die in their 80's and it's not from old age or disease.

I knew I'd find a better version of that picture (thx to Derris' email)

Even when no meant yes, one could still end up with a broken beer bottle to face courtesy a jealous husband, it appears.

Why is he all bloody?

Because he used to head butt his defensive players without a helmet. An animal.

Also coined the phrase "BIG TEAM, little me". He was a master motivator and a brilliant defensive mind.

You'll never find any player that ever played for him say anything bad about him. Players didn't play for him out of fear, they played hard for him because they didn't want to disappoint him..........and few coached gain that kind of respect.

He left UGA and won 3 National titles in the 80's for Georgia Southern where there was no program before him.

Damn, I haven't seen that name or even thought about him since high school. He lived a good life of football.

He was mainly known for his forehead-menstruation. It really intimidated...well, everybody.
