Andy Pilney

Andy Pilney(January 19, 1913 - September 15, 1996) was a college football coach, who spent one year in 1936, as a MLB player. He played football and baseball at Notre Dame. At Notre Dame, he was the star quarterback, and one of the many great Irish quarterbacks. He is most notable for leading the Irish to a come-from-behind win against number 1 ranked Ohio State, in what many think was the game-of-the-century.

In 1954, he began his career as a college football head coach, when he coached at Tulane. From 1954 to 1961, he compiled a 25-49-6 record at Tulane.
