| In honor of WKU's Homecoming, E.A. Diddle takes a knee with the football coaching staff in October 1938. Diddle was consistently involved in the football program during his career on The Hill because he was named the Athletic Director and head coach of all sports in 1922. He gave up his duties as head football coach in the fall of 1929. In 1934, Diddle relinquished the job of athletic director, but assumed it again in the summer of 1942 and held it, in addition to his coaching duties, until his retirement in 1964. |
