Miner_Pride Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Very Sorry to hear this news. LInton has faced off with many of his Tecumseh teams. I got to know his son Tom, who also was head coach for the Braves. Just a great guy to talk football with... my thought are with his family and friends. RIP Paul.

Bcaster Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I was lucky enough to get to know him just a little bit and to have covered one or two of his teams in the post-season years ago. A great person, as many of you have mentioned. Was always jovial and light-hearted away from the field, but an intense competitor on the field. He had a trait that I've found many great coaches have. They never forget any of their players, no matter how long it's been. When I first introduced myself and told him I had an uncle that played for him at a different school some 25 years ago, his eyes lit up, he got a big smile on his face and he said my uncle's name before I even had a chance. My thoughts and prayers are with Tom and the entire Osborne family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
