College Football World Pays Tribute To Stan Parrish
College football just lost a great coach over the weekend.
Stan Parrish, who was the head coach at Wabash (Indiana), Marshall, Kansas State, and Ball State died on Sunday at the age of 75.
He spent over four decades coaching football and was even Tom Brady’s quarterback coach while he was at Michigan.
Parrish’s overall record as a head coach (including Division II and III) was 64-62-3.
He got his first college job with Purdue during the 1975-76 season. After that, he became the head coach at Wabash, where he led the school to a 42-3-1 record over a five-year span.
Parrish then went to Marshall in 1985, plus made stops at Kansas State and Rutgers before coaching Brady in the 90s.
The college football world is sending all its condolences to the Parrish family on social media.

Former Marshall coach Stan Parrish has died at 75. Parrish was the QB coach at Michigan when Tom Brady was a Wolverine.
The best advice Parrish ever gave Brady?
"Don't ever let 'em see you sweat." #RIP

Sad news… great person and a terrific coach
In a difficult situation, Coach Parrish stepped into the interim head coach role at the end of the 2013 season. In his fist game, he led the Eagles to a 35-32 upset win over Western Michigan. https://t.co/BLz1sriimK
