The Toughest Coach There Ever Was
“Robert Victor Sullivan, whom you’ve surely never heard of, was the toughest coach of them all. He was so tough he had to have two tough nicknames, Bull and Cyclone, and his name was usually recorded this way: coach Bob “Bull” “Cyclone” Sullivan or coach Bob (Bull) (Cyclone) Sullivan.

He was the most unique of men, and yet he remains utterly representative of a time that has vanished, from the gridiron and from these United States.”
