Pepper Rodgers, a former college football head coach and Washington Redskins front office executive, died Thursday in Virginia. He was 88.
His son, Rick Rodgers, told Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times that Rodgers suffered a fall in his home Saturday that led to arterial bleeding and further complications, including a stroke and a heart attack.
"The doctors told us this would be a serious thing for a 19-year-old, much less an 88-year-old," Rick said. "He had movements and he stabilized, but he never responded to sight or sound.
