More on Charley Pell
Description from Wikipedia:
Charley Pell (February 17, 1941 - May 29, 2001) was the Clemson University head football coach from 1977 through 1978 and University of Florida football coach from 1979 through 1984. He is credited with laying the foundation for the later success of both programs.
Pell, a native of Albertville, Alabama, was a graduate of the University of Alabama. He played for the Crimson Tide under coach Bear Bryant as a lineman on Bryant's first national title team in 1961. Pell later served as a graduate assistant at Alabama. He earned his first job as head coach at the age of 28 at Jacksonville State University. Pell later coached at Clemson University, where he was twice named ACC Coach of the Year. During his tenure as head coach at Clemson he gained the nickname "Cheatin' Charley" because of deep involvement in NCAA rules and recruiting violations that came to light during successor Danny Ford's tenure at Clemson. Pell later coached the Florida Gators from 1979 through 1984. He was fired due to multiple NCAA rule violations, for which he took full responsibility. Pell originally said he would resign at the end of the 1984 season, but after the NCAA announced that Florida was suspected of 106 violations he was fired after three games. His successor, Galen Hall, won the 1984 SEC Championship but the Gators were stripped of the title because of NCAA violations. Pell was unable to secure another coaching job. He attempted suicide in 1994 and died of cancer in 2001
