The man who took Eastern Kentucky University’s football program to the top level and made a significant impact on young men in college and well beyond their playing days has died. Roy Kidd was head coach at EKU from 1964 to 2002 and amassed 314 wins including two national championships in 1979 and 1982. Karl Park was sports information director at Eastern for 34 years and is still active in Colonel athletics.
“A lot of people go into the coaching profession and everybody wants to win but Roy Kidd knew how to win. He was excellent in the last part of games,” said Park.
