good talk
LaVell Edwards, highly-successful football coach at Brigham Young for 29 seasons, has died at "86". Becoming head-coach in 1972 at a traditionally-moribund football school, LaVell installed a dynamic passing-attack, bringing in quarterbacks such as Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Robbie Bosco, and Marc Wilson, for the trigger. In 1984, LaVell's team went 13-0, and then beat Michigan in the Holiday Bowl, to give a Mormon school in the middle of nowhere, a National Championship. LaVell, one of 14 children, leaves his wife of 65 years, Patti, and 3 children. Called by Orrin Hatch ...a humble but confident leader... He'll be missed
