Just read where Coach Bellard passed away today at 83. Since I am a 70's kinda' guy and old option QB, this man was certainly a legend back when I was coming up. Pretty much established, as well as can be, that he was the originator of the Wishbone option.

OJW, do you know of any direct-source stuff from/by him? I'd love to read up on him, I got a fun read a while back on Bobby Dodd of GT fame, which happened to have some neat x's and o's as well, something by Bellard would be sweet!

There's a book out called wishbone wisdom, mostly biographical, but with some X's and O's in it as well. It is direct source

Autobiographical - Bellard wrote it himself. Was published just last March. Can find it at www.amazon.com
