1922 Rare photograph of young Bo McMillin as he was welcomed to Louisiana as the new head coach of Centenary College by the governor of the state. McMillan was just out of school himself as a player from Centre College and was the star of the Milwaukee Badgers of the NFL when he took a side gig to coach at Centenary on Saturdays as well! He would become one of the top coaches of all time and is a charter member of the College Football Hall of Fame, and it all started here! Stamped on the back by Wide World Photos and with a full paper caption as well, this is being offered here for the first time ever.
