William Earl “Brother” Oliver, a former assistant coach at Alabama and Auburn, died on April 14 at the age of 85.
I watch sports, think about sports and talk about sports practically every day.
Coaching college football in the SEC is not for the faint of heart. It’s a cutthroat business and rules seemingly change every year, or are simply ignored like they never existed in the first place. Of course, that’s why these coaches get paid the big bucks. The king of the league has finally abdicated the throne and it’s time to reevaluate the hierarchy of coaches in the conference. Don’t shoot the messenger. In fact, I’d highly recommend you not shoot anyone as a general rule.
My brother is a little more than five years older than I am. We shared a room growing up and I vividly remember when he left to go to school at Auburn. It was a great day. I finally got my own room, but I also had the opportunity to go visit him on occasion. He actually let me and a buddy of mine spend the night with him a few times.
