An Indiana legend is gone.

On Friday, former Indiana coach Bill Mallory died at the age of 82. Mallory was the program’s winningest coach ever with a record of 69-77-3 in 13 seasons at the helm.

He passed in Bloomington with his family at his side.

“The entire Indiana University family is deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Mallory,” Indiana athletic director Fred Glass said in a release. “Bill was not only a Hall of Fame football coach, but also an extraordinary man who has had an immeasurable impact on countless individuals throughout the course of his career and life. Bill’s passion for the sport of football was matched only by his love of his players, his coaches, and most of all, his family. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him and his wonderful family.

“IU Athletics extends our heartfelt condolences to Ellie, Curt, Doug, Mike, Barbara and the entire Mallory family. Bill will be missed by many, but never forgotten.”

He led the Hoosiers to six bowl games in an eight-year stretch, which included bowl victories in 1988 and 1991. Indiana has only been to three bowl games in the 26 years after Mallory.

Mallory coached six first- or second team All-Americans, two first round NFL draft picks and two players who finished in the top six in the Heisman Trophy voting.

In addition to that, Mallory became the first person to ever win consecutive B1G Coach of the Year honors in 1987.

“Coach Mallory is not the greatest coach in the history of IU Football because of all the games that he won,” said Indiana head coach Tom Allen said in a release. “It is because of the kind of man that he was and the kind of person that he was in the hearts of his players. He did a tremendous job molding them into men.

“In my mind, he is and will always be what Indiana University Football is all about.”
