TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- On the Florida A&M University campus there is a main road called Wahnish Way. Visit any campus sporting event and you will likely pass through or by it. As you stroll down Wahnish Way and focus your attention toward the main campus you will see a statute in tribute to one of the greatest football coaches of all time in the late great Alonza S. Jake Gaither. The brick building that sits behind the statute is the historical Jake Gaither Gymnasium. The College Hall of Fame football coach is so respected that many a youth have spent most of their spare time at the recreation center and golf course named in his honor.
Neither the University of Texas or Florida A&M University are playing Hall of Fame style football right now. They are hoping to return to winning and to get there they are both taking what may appear to be the least likely road. Historically though, it is a road once traveled.
