Introduction

The wisdom of the people of football can often times transfer to daily life.

"Coaching isn't a great mystery. It's Just hard work, determination, and inspiration at the right moment."

Bob Zuppke shared this statement of wisdom almost a century ago when he was the Head Coach at the University of llinois from 1913 -1941.

Bob Zuppke

Born July 2, 1879, in Berlin, Germany, was Illinois Illini Hall of Fame Head Coach, Bob Zuppke. Coach served as the head coach at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign from 1913 until 1941, compiling a career college football record of 131–81–12. Inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951, Zuppke coached his teams to national titles in 1914, 1919, 1923, and 1927.
