Our sincere condolences to the family of the great Coach Cobb. I met Coach Cobb when in college I ran against his amorphous teams. They were strong and represented his trading acumen. Fast forward 25 + years and my daughters Erin and Kia runs for Southwest Dekalb High. The girls team wins 3 straight State titles and more after her graduation. What a ride! Her coaches Terrell and Anderson, were strong followers of the Cobb training program he made sure it was run his winning way. Thanks for feeding so much success into my child and all the kids in Dekalb, many who may only have had him as a strong male role model. My friend, my frat brother, rest in peace.
