Former Bulldogs head football coach Jim Sweeney pasted away on February 8th at the age of 83. Not only was he an icon to Fresno State, but he was a father figure to many of his players.
Hundreds of his former football players such as Trent Dilfer and Lorenzo Neal showed up to his memorial inside Bulldog Stadium to pay their respects.
Senerey De Los Santos has more from his players on their thoughts about the man they call "the best coach in college football."
