Doing a project and came across this pic. LEGENDS🐍

“I want my players to be mo-bile, ag-ile and hos-tile” was the mantra of Florida A&M Hall of Fame coach Jake Gaither. From 1945-1969 he was the head coach at Florida A&M. During this period, he posted a 203-36-4 record, accumulated one of the game’s all-time best winning percentages (.844), won 22 conference titles and six Black College Football National Championships.

But Gaither was known far more than for just his wins and losses. He was an innovator. His book, “The Split-Line T Offense,” was hailed by coaches nationwide. He was a sought-after speaker, and his clinics were attended by coaches.. But perhaps his greatest influence came in the values he inspired in hundreds of his players.
