Coach was a character. I enjoyed speaking with him either on the field or while traveling.
Here is his history.
Robert Francis Pellegrini born on (November 13, 1934 – April 11, 2008) was an American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins. He played college football at Maryland, where he was an All-American as a center. Pellegrini was drafted in the first round (fourth overall) of the 1956 NFL Draft. In 1996, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

In 1955, he finished fifth in number of votes for the Heisman Trophy. He was featured on the cover of the November 7, 1955 edition of Sports Illustrated magazine.

Bob Pelligrini signed me to a Bell contract. Interesting guy to say the least...
Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings.
