This would be the 2nd Northwestern athletic coach to die unexpectedly in recent history, the 1st one being basketball coach Ricky Birdsong who some may remember was killed by Matt Hale loving white supremacist nutcase Benjamin Smith after killing 2 other victims on a rampage and then commiting suicide like the coward he was July 2nd 1999 here in Chicago.This is sad day for Randy Walker's immediate family, his family at Northwestern and sports fans everywhere no doubt.
Daily Herald: CHICAGO -- Northwestern University officials said early this morning that football coach Randy Walker has died at 52 of an apparent heart attack.Mike Wolf, Northwestern’s assistant athletic director for media services, said Walker died suddenly at about 10 p.m. Thursday after experiencing chest pains at his suburban Chicago home.
"Our deepest sympathies go out to his wife, Tammy, and his two children, Abbey and Jamie," NU athletic director Mark Murphy said in a statement. "This is a devastating loss, not only for our athletic program, but for the entire Northwestern community.
