Eddie Gay Robinson (not short for Edward) (born February 13, 1919, in Jackson, Louisiana) spent 56 years as the head college football coach at Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana, from 1942 through 1997.

He was affectionately known simply as "Coach" throughout college football. During his tenure, Robinson established himself as the winningest coach in college football history becoming the first coach to record 400 wins. (John Gagliardi holds the current record of 443). Robinson retired with a record of 408 wins, 165 losses and 15 ties. Even during the era of segregation in the American South, Robinson's talent was praised by many white coaches especially by that of Alabama coach Bear Bryant.
