The coach doctor: Eddie Anderson
Patty Chavez | December 13, 2018
DePaul's football team has faded more and more into history as the years have gone by. While the occasional story does cover DePaul's football team and its demise, specific stories about the coaches and players are told less often. One such story is that of the football team’s coach from 1925-31, Edward Anderson. Over his coaching career at four colleges, Anderson amassed a record of 201-128-15, which earned him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971. However, Anderson's success as a football coach is only a part of his story.
