Eagles Found Likely Successor To Bednarik: LSU’s Bo Strange
LSU’s Bo Strange was the twenty-eighth player chosen overall in the 1961 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles wanted him to replace their legendary linebacker Chuck Bednarik. He declined their offer and graduated from the LSU School of Medicine in 1965.
The Bednarik Award is given to the College Defensive Player of the Year by the Maxwell Football Club.
Philadelphia’s search for a successor to Iron Man Chuck Bednarik intensified in the 1960 football season. Bednarik was nearing the end of a remarkable fourteen-year career as the last player in National Football League history to play both offense and defense. A trade was unlikely. Nobody in the NFL would give up a player that approached Bednarik in ability and accomplishment. He had made All-Pro eight times, an unmatched achievement in that era. The American Football League had burst onto the scene in 1960 to complicate matters. The two leagues would again compete for college talent.
But the Eagles believed they had located an heir apparent: LSU’s Bo Strange, also a center and linebacker. His size, speed, stamina, and leadership met the criteria of Philadelphia scouts in their effort to find a replacement for Bednarik. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Strange also had the academic requirements essential for admission to the LSU School of Medicine. And his mother was rooting for the med school. Her oldest child, Virginia, had already reached that goal.
Bo was the twenty-eighth player chosen overall in the 1961 NFL draft. By choosing Strange in the second round – ahead of such future pro stars a Fran Tarkenton – the Eagles had made a statement. Strange was a player they highly valued. They didn’t want to risk losing him in a later round.
Philadelphia had seen his game film. The Eagle scouts had witnessed Strange making big plays in two all-star games. They were convinced that he could be groomed into a solid successor for their legendary linebacker. Bo had played only one college season— 1960 — as a center and linebacker, although he had excelled at both positions at Baton Rouge High. He was LSU’s starting right tackle for two seasons, including the 1958 national championship campaign. He was a second team All-SEC selection as a senior in 1960.
It appeared that the Eagles were smarter than a tree full of owls. No other NFL team had scouted Strange as thoroughly as Philadelphia. But they missed one significant item: Strange was a member of the All-SEC Academic team. His major was pre-med. Even as competition for players between the NFL and AFL became heated, pro football was not in Bo’s plans. The AFL’s Denver Bronco drafted Strange in the third round, but they were never a factor.
After the draft, Strange received a registered letter from the Philadelphia ball club. It contained an offer to sign a contract for $16,500 and a bonus check of $3,500. That was more money than Paul Dietzel was being paid as LSU’s head football coach. But after family discussions (his father was Clarence “Pop” Strange, a member of Dietzel’s coaching staff), Bo thanked the Eagles for their interest, and told them he was going to enter LSU’s medical school in the fall. He returned the bonus check to Philadelphia. “I told them I was going to med school at the Senior Bowl,” Strange recalled. “My sister was already in med school. My parents were educators. They made sure we were good students at every level. Our goal from an early age had been med school.”
His brother David followed Bo at LSU as a football player and attended dental school.
Although Strange planned to attend med school, he played in two post-season games – the Blue-Gray game in Montgomery, Ala., and in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., which were popular venues in the sixties for professional coaches and general managers. It provided them the opportunity to watch prospects in practices and games and to discuss the possibility of a pro football future with the players.
Bo made a big impression on pro scouts at the Senior Bowl, highlighting an outstanding game by blocking an extra point attempt in the fourth quarter of a 33-26 South victory. He met with Philadelphia representatives several times in Mobile. One of the ball club’s representatives was Eddie Khyat, a native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and a former Tulane player who had been a Senior Bowl participant. He was then an active member of the Eagles.
When medical school was mentioned in the discussions, Philadelphia made a persistent run at Strange. The Eagles offered to help him get admitted to Temple. Its quarter system would allow Bo to attend medical school while playing pro football. After some consideration, Strange concluded that attending Temple would take him twice as long to complete his medical education. He declined the offer. But that didn’t stop Philadelphia from paying him the ultimate compliment. They wanted Bo to be the player to replace one of pro football’s legends: Chuck Bednarik.
Now retired in his eighty-first year, Strange lives in Asheville, N.C., and is even more confident today that he made the right decision. He is mentally alert with a vivid memory for the people and events of his youth. There are no lingering reminders of football injuries. He performed knee surgery, but never needed corrective surgery for himself. He had no concussions. For that he is grateful.
Bo’s family connections to LSU continue. They began in the 1930s when his father played tackle for the Tigers’ Sugar Bowl teams. His son, Chip, owner of Unique Cuisine, has been providing the food service for the LSU Alumni Association for eighteen years.

James Cregg, 2019 Offensive Line Coach of the Year. 1. Who was LSU's most highly decorated assistant in 2019? 2. Which LSU assistant ranked in second place in national awards? 1. Joe Brady. LSU’s 2019 passing game coordinator attracted more national attention than any Tiger assistant coach, winning the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. 2. If your answer was offensive line coach James Cregg, go to the head of the class. Cregg’s LSU linemen won the Joe Moore award as the nation’s best offensive line, the first time the Tigers earned that honor. And Cregg was voted the Offensive Line Coach of the Year. Greg Studrawa won that award as LSU’s offensive line coach in 2011.
The LSU offensive line of 2019 was instrumental in helping the Tigers field the first offense in NCAA history that featured a 5,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers, and a 1,000-yard rusher. LSU’s offense led the country in both scoring and total offense and set numerous SEC and school records en route to a 15-0 record and a national title.
With Cregg’s offensive line leading the way last season, LSU ranked fifth nationally on third down with a 50.89 percent success rate, and ranked fifth in red zone touchdown percentage, scoring fifty-five times in seventy attempts.
Cregg has another rebuilding assignment when LSU plays again. Only one starter – senior right tackle Austin Deculus (6-6, 331) – returns from a year ago. Ed Ingram, a 6-3, 315-pound junior is another likely starter at left guard. In 1,151 plays last season, he allowed only one sack, according to LSU sports digital media reporter Cody Worsham. When AllSEC guard Damien Lewis was injured in the Peach Bowl, Ingram replaced him for sixty-eight plays in the win over Oklahoma. Freshmen Thomas Perry (66, 329) and Marlon Martinez (6-4, 325) are probable backups.
Under classmen, two sophomores and eight freshmen, dominate the o-line room. The two sophomores – Dare Rosenthal (6-7, 327), who started four games last year, and Cameron Wire (6-6, 311) – are expected to play most of the minutes at left tackle, although a graduate transfer from Harvard, Liam Shanahan, (6-5, 304) could be a factor there as well as at other positions up front. The center position is wide open. Junior Chasen Hines (6-3, 349), a converted guard, and freshman Joseph Evans (6-1, 319), a converted defensive lineman, will compete for playing time with Ivy Leaguer Shanahan. At right guard, one Cregg’s prize recruits, Anthony Bradford (6-5, 365), and Kardell Thomas (6-3, 326) will wage one of the most competitive battles of the pre-season. A top incoming freshman, Marcus Dumervil (6-5, 310), should be a backup at tackle.
Cregg continued his recruiting foray into Michigan (he landed Bradford from Muskegon last year), getting a commitment from one of the nation's top high school tackles Garrett Dellinger, a 6-6, 290-pounder from Clarkston, Mich., for the 2021 class.
Ed Orgeron hired Cregg to replace Jeff Grimes who became the offensive coordinator at Brigham Young in 2018. Cregg's first major accomplishment was to stabilize the LSU offensive line that season. LSU had eight players start at least one game on the offensive line that year. The Tigers used a total of seven combinations on the offensive line in thirteen games in 2018.
Prior to joining LSU in December of 2017, Cregg spent four seasons as the assistant offensive line coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. He held the same position at previous NFL stops with the Denver Broncos (2014-16) and the Oakland Raiders (2007-08). He won a Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2015.
According to Cregg, only one college coach could have persuaded
him to leave the NFL – Coach O. “I wouldn't have come back to college football to work for anybody else besides Coach O,” Cregg told the listeners of ESPN Baton Rouge radio upon joining the LSU staff.
Orgeron and Cregg coached together for one season at Tennessee in 2009 and three additional seasons with Southern Cal in 2010-13, which included Orgeron’s eight-game interim head coaching role with the Trojans.
Some of the great coaches of the game were linemen as players – Vince Lombardi, Paul Bryant, and John Vaught, to name a few. Bryant was not only one of college football’s winningest coaches, he was one of the best amateur psychologists of his day. Bryant borrowed offensive and defensive schemes from other coaches. But he understood that people win games. He was as good as anybody at connecting with his people.
The Bear expressed it this way:
“If anything goes bad, I did it.
“If anything goes semi-good, we did it.
“If anything goes really good, then you did it.
“That’s all it takes to get people to win games for you.”
Predicting The Future: Three National Champs
All-American Kiya Johnson was one of the nation’s best gymnasts as a freshman. She was named SEC Freshman of the Year, the first LSU gymnast to be recognized since April Burkholder, and she won twenty-two event titles and three All-America honors in her first year. Johnson, a sophomore from Dallas, Texas, owns career highs of 10 on vault and beam, 9.975 on floor, and 9.90 on bars.
The arrival of the highly regarded Haleigh Bryant to the LSU gymnastics team could push the Tigers over the top. CollegeGymNews.com ranked Bryant the No. 1 incoming freshman in floor and vault, No. 2 in all-around, and No. 7 in uneven bars.
Prediction: LSU will win multiple national championships in the same calendar year. Selecting the year is above my pay grade. It’s just a matter of time. The coaches have built nationally prominent programs. They have been recruiting too many good athletes to be locked into the role of eternal Thelma Davies, a sophomore sprinter from contender. One of these years, the Philadelphia, Pa., ended her freshman season with a 200-meter dash time that ranked No. 5 in the NCAA (22.80) and the No. 14 time in the depth of talent and a minimum of injuries will favor the Tigers. 60-meter dash (7.23). Coach Dennis Shaver hopes Davies will reach her peak in national competition this year. Our predicted winners for an LSU trifecta are – gymnastics, beach volleyball, and women’s track and field. These teams have an excellent opportunity to win national championships in the same school year. Since there is no “One and Done” in these sports, there is a good chance the Tigers can achieve this gaudy goal. Recruiting success should help LSU stockpile talent on these three teams. These teams have gifted coaches, Tonea Marshall's three fastest times of 2020 – 7.86, 7.89, 7.89 – made her the second hurdler elite athletes, and a national brand. They have been the noteworthy in NCAA history to have three performances challengers for several years. Jay Clark, of 7.90 or faster in the 60-meter hurdles. She is currently the Tigers’ most highly decorated track Russell Brock, and Dennis Shaver are athlete – five-time All-America, four-time All-SEC, highly regarded coaches and recruiters. 2020 Women’s South Central Region Indoor Track Athlete of the Year, 2020 Corbett Award winner, Clark has proved that he can recruit 2020 Bowerman watch list. The senior from great gymnasts. Brock has lifted beach Arlington, Texas, appears headed for her best year in Tigertown in 2021. volleyball into a national power with talented players. And Shaver continues to recruit an endless line of swift and gifted track and field performers to Bernie Moore Stadium. All three programs have consistently been ranked among the nation’s best in their sport.
Last season Kiya Johnson was named SEC Freshman Gymnast of the Year and Region 1 Freshman of the Year. She is expected to be an even more polished and productive performer this season. This year’s recruiting crop features Haleigh Bryant, another national standout. She will also be a favorite to become the SEC Freshman Gymnast of the Year and Region 1 Freshman of the Year. These two young women are capable of the leading the Tigers to the promised land.
In beach volleyball, Kristen Nuss and Claire Coppola, were named “Pair of the Year” and All-America in back-to-back seasons – 2018 and 2019. Their success in the sand has been largely responsible for making LSU one of America’s elite teams in their sport.
LSU track athletes like Tonea Marshall, the third fastest women’s hurdler in NCAA history, and sprinter Thelma Davies, a 2x All-America in 2020 with outstanding performances in the 60 meters and 200 meters indoors, should rank with the nation’s best in those events.
In some special year, these three women’s programs will enter the championships as the favorite and they will capture the prize. Best of all, one or more of these programs has what it takes to linger in the winner’s circle. A
championship will only ensure that America’s top athletes will continue to keep Tigertown high on their priority list for collegiate competition.
Softball is also a nationally ranked sport – not far behind these three programs. A few more premier players could lift softball into a major contender’s role soon. Women’s tennis is making great progress.
But now is the time for gymnastics, beach volleyball, and women’s track and field to reach legendary status, joining forces and winning national championships in a memorable year. It would give each sport a long-term boost. It could happen any year.
In LSU sports history, great teams changed the course of Tiger football. The football teams struggled immediately prior to a perfect 10-0 season in 1908. LSU struggled to a 5-5 record in 1957 before winning the national championship in 1958 with an 11-0 season. Those teams made a difference for their sport. The 1908 Tigers popularized the game and increased attendance. The 1958 Tigers solidified Louisiana as the team’s recruiting base. What did those teams have in common? Legendary athletes. Doc Fenton was the star in 1908. Billy Cannon was everybody’s All-America in 1958.
LSU’s two winningest beach volleyball players – Kristen Nuss, left, and Claire Coppola – have been largely responsible for the Tigers’ rise to the top in national rankings. Coppola and Nuss were previously named two-time, pre-season All-America selections and two-time CCSA Pair of the Year. They make the LSU team a national contender again in 2021.
LSU’s Doug Aucoin was named the 2019-2020 Bob Matey National Video Coordinator of the Year by the Sports Video Association. He is the first ever to become a twotime winner of the award. Aucoin previously won this honor in 2010. The twenty-three-year veteran maestro of football video has been a five-time selection as the SEC’s Video Coordinator of the Year.
He recently provided the football coaches with a technological assist to be more productive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aucoin utilized Zoom to bring the coaches and players together in the age of social distancing. He helped the football staff install their offensive and defensive systems with the team—all from the comfort of their homes. And, Zoom allowed Coach O to conduct tours of the LSU facilities for recruits and their families when all were abiding by stay-at-home mandates due to the virus.
Aucoin has been assisting the LSU staff with player development and scouting of opponents through film and video since 1997.
His latest “tool” to assist the coaching staff and team in game preparation is a room inside the Football Operations complex. It’s called the Walk Through Room. By standing on a fifty-foot-wide turf floor, you can look at a twelve-foothigh wall and see the Alabama (or a designated opponent) offense facing you. It is a major breakthrough in film study for college football. It gives the Tigers a life-sized view of their opponent every week.
Just as Orgeron and his staff must stay on top of changes in the game, Aucoin’s task is to find and utilize the latest technology to assist the Tigers in preparing for a game.
Prior to coming to LSU, Aucoin held similar positions at Tulane and for the New Orleans Saints, where his father, Erby Aucoin, also a creative pioneer in the field, directed the filming of practices and games for the NFL team. The elder Aucoin also assisted LSU Coach Paul Dietzel in 1958 while serving as a photographer for The Advocate.
Just days prior to LSU’s 10-7 win over Florida, Don Scully, captain of the 1956 Tigers, lost his life in an automobile accident while serving in the military. Dietzel’s team took the field against Florida running past Erby Aucoin’s floor-to-ceiling image of Don Scully.
