Northwestern head football coach Randy Walker died suddenly yesterday of an apparent heart attack at age 52. Before moving to Northwestern he was the head coach at Miami for 9 years. His daughter Abbey and her husband Brian are friends of mine, and my deepest sympathies go out to them and the rest of the Walker family. He was a great human being and his death is truly a tragedy.

So sad. He made Miami a better place when he was there. I never knew coach but Abbey was one of the nicest people I met while in school. I think her dad had to of been a good person because of how Abbey is. Northwestern picked him because of his ability to recruit athletes who could take a hard academic load. He did it at Miami and he was doing it at Northwestern. Just sad he didn't have more time to take them further.
There is a discussion page about Coach Walker here.
