Staying on the subject of Duke fb coaches, who was the last Blue Devil fb coach to RESIGN?

OFC

Barry Wilson. OFC

 

[hart2chesson]

Barry Wilson. OFC

DI good job. It tends to get lost in the shuffle because three coaches who FOLLOWED Barry were FIRED: Goldsmith, Franks and Roof. Barry stepped down with IIRC two games left in the '93 campaign, (although he coached last two)his 4th year on the job.

Barry Wilson is an honorable man, with a passion for doing things the right way, and his ethics and character were exemplary. There were no plans to fire him, but he refused to let personal pride stand in his way. He knew Duke deserved better and stepped aside. Fred Goldsmith took over and led Duke to the Hall of Fame Bowl the next season.

@Devilnside run with it my friend!
