    The Legend of Paul Brown: An Audio Documentary on the Great Coach

    As pointed out in past posts, a handful of people stand out for their overwhelming contributions to the game that have made American Football one of the greatest games of sports to watch and participate in. Paul Brown, the legendary high school, college, and professional coach/executive, fits this mold. We went back to our Pigskin Dispatch audio archives in interviews with experts on Coach Brown: Jonathan Knight, Greg Tranter, Ken Crippen, and George Bozeka to help us understand the legend of Paul Brown.
