great post.. more people should know about Bellard.
Houston donors pushed Bellard over the edge. I'm not sure he was truly HC material, but he took a dead program and pumped some serious life into it.

Later he had a good run at State in the early 80's w/Bob Tyler's recruits and then started sliding down by 1985 after which he stepped down as State's coach.
I always liked him. Down to earth and a good coach on the field. His Recruiting was a bit spotty though he was probably not as bad as everyone one thought he was in that area.
He was the first of the A&M pipeline to State followed by Sherrill and more recently Vic Schaefer.

The Houston donors are responsible for Sherman and Sumlin.
