Emory Bellard, former Texas, Texas A&M, and Spring Westfield football coach.
He spent five years as an assistant at Texas, where he helped Royal revive the Longhorns’ football fortunes by creating the wishbone, the high-octane, run-oriented scheme that carried the Longhorns to 30 consecutive victories from 1968 through 1970 and to national championships in 1969 and 1970.
He had two 10-win seasons at Texas A&M, including a share of the 1975 Southwest Conference championship, and spent seven years at Mississippi State, twice coaching the Bulldogs to top 20 finishes. His final coaching job was at Spring Westfield, where the Mustangs reached the playoffs four times in six years.
