GREENSBORO, North Carolina – Rod Broadway ended his own era this morning, choosing to walk away while at the top of the game and leaving the N.C. A&T football coaching job to a trusted friend.
Broadway, 62, has decided he has spent enough time on the sidelines, enough time away from his family and far too much time away from his beach house.
He left behind a case filled with trophies. He left three MEAC titles and two national championships and a lifetime of memories. Broadway left as a legend.
This is how all coaches dream of going out, telling jokes and laughing with his friends and colleagues, promising to come back sparingly and pledging to spend his fall Saturdays with a fishing rod in his hands, far from Aggie Stadium, far from football officials and a lengthening shadow that would’ve never left him.
That shadow was his own.
They’ll tell stories of what Broadway accomplished here, and they’ll compare everything from this day forward to this man who walked away, a giant of a coach in this city, this state and this country. He was one of the greatest college football coaches we’ll ever see.
