Legendary college football coach Eddie Robinson, who had Alzheimer's disease, has died. He was 88.

Diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1997, Robinson's health had been declining, and he spent part of the past year in a nursing home.

Robinson coached at Grambling State University for 57 seasons and won 408 games. His career spanned 11 presidents, several wars and the civil-rights movement.
