I miss you, Vaughn!...I always looked forward to the Quarterback Club Meetings and seeing Vaughn Mancha, a football legend. He would always sing the ladies a song and had something upbeat to say....and for a kiss, you could get your picture with him.
Here's my picture with Vaughn! I hope you get to come to a meeting sometime soon, Vaughn.
Here are some stats on Vaughn:
Vaughn Mancha was UWA's Head Football Coach from 1949-51, departing with an overall record of 18-10-2 and leading the Tigers to a historic 13-6 win over Florida State University. Following his tenure at UWA, Mancha served as Florida State's Defensive Coordinator before taking over as the school's athletic director in 1959. As a player, Mancha was a two-time All-American at Alabama under Coach Frank Thomas and a member of Alabama's Team of the Century selected in 1992. He is also an Alabama Sports Hall of Fame inductee, a member of the National Football Hall of Fame, the NFL Hall of Fame, the Florida State Athletic Hall of Fame and the Blue-Gray All-Star Game Hall of Fame.
