The Mission Featuring HBCU Head Coaches & Grambling State Legacy
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is proud to host the annual Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 5.
Fans will be treated to a historic rivalry as Grambling State University matches up against Tennessee State University in the “Battle of the Tigers.”
Hall of Fame Productions had the opportunity to interview both head coaches: Broderick Fobbs of Grambling State and NFL Legend Eddie George of Tennessee State. In addition, Cherie Kirkland, the granddaughter of legendary Grambling State head coach and Black College Football Hall of Famer Eddie Robison, joined us to talk about the upcoming BCFHOF Classic in Canton.
