HBCU Legends Series Podcast: Rudy Hubbard

Former Florida A&M head football coach Rudy Hubbard is now a College Football Hall of Famer as the announcement of the 2021 class came last week. Hubbard led the Rattlers to the first ever played I-AA (now known as FCS) championship in 1978. Hubbard sat down for an in-depth conversation with Donal Ware and talked about being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and how he found out he had been inducted, his coaching tenure at FAMU, how the Rattlers even became eligible for the I-AA championship as a Division II school, about FAMU’s historic victory over University of Miami in 1979, his time as an assistant coach at Ohio State under the legendary Woody Hayes, and about his thoughts on FAMU’s ill-fated move to I-A in the mid-2000’s and its move to the SWAC beginning the 2021-22 athletic season.
